+Product Description:

+problems of a device when put under a heavy load in actual usage scenarios.

+Main Features:
+==============
+- Load types: 
+  - CPU load (yielding or blocking)
+  - Memory eat (RAM and disks)
+  - Phone calls
+  - Network connection
+  - Key press
+  - SMS and MMS sending
+  - Launching applications
+  - Photo captures
+  - Bluetooth device discovery
+  - Touch UI pointer events
+- Each load type can be executed periodically (that is, idle time can be
+  applied after each round)
+- Each started load will be run in a separate thread
+- Each load type can be paused/resumed and stopped
+

+
+Installation Notes:
+===================
+LoadGen is typically preinstalled on ROM. If not, it can be added to the
+ROM with the .iby file. Alternatively, the .sis file can be found under the sis-
+directory, but the user need to sign it with their own developer certificate.
+In Nokia R&D environment, you can use directly the R&D-signed .sis file under the
+internal\sis directory.
+
+When signing with own developer certificate, the following capabilities are
+needed:
+  NetworkServices
+  SwEvent
+  ReadUserData
+  WriteUserData
+
+When builing LoadGen against S60 3.0 or 3.1, you may need to patch your SDK
+environment first with some fixes. For more information, please refer to the
+instructions under the "envpatcher" directory.
