From their website:
Massive load tests, either in test or production environments, are now easier than ever. Use your own loadtest scripts together with DeNamiK LoadGen. No changes to the Citrix servers have to be made. Just make sure you have created a couple of test scripts with your favorite scripting product and have enough workstations available to launch the sessions. With the DeNamiK LoadGen - Director you can manage the LoadBots, create your scenario's, fire away ICA sessions in a manageable fashion to properly evaluate your Citrix environment and also get a report containing the passed stages of the ICA sessions.
