Is there any good way to create a bunch of fake users that have open perspective clients? Best way I've found is to open browser sessions (in different browsers), but I was wondering if there was any way to do this more programmatically for testing.

You could create a .bat file that openes multiple browsers with something like this

```auto
start chrome http://perspective1
start chrome http://perspective2

```

If using chrome you can also set it to start multiple tabs on startup.

"Easy" to do with most browser-based testing frameworks, like [Selenium](https://www.selenium.dev/).
