Thanks for the paper! On classifying testing tools as open/closed, I've been able to use JMeter to simulate open requests against very heavy endpoints [1] by not having individual threads loop, increasing the number of threads and using the ramp-up feature. I suspect that this wouldn't work for testing something that can handle large amounts of traffic, but there are cases where you can fit a squarish peg into a somewhat round hole. [1] 100s of ms or seconds of time for endpoints that do a lot of work (both CPU and IO) per request).
