Automatic visit to different web pages

I 开发者_如何学JAVAneed to measure the time it takes to load different web pages, each page about once per hour for a week. I suspect that the performance of the networks between my computer and the web-server vary too much over time (not only throughput but also latency).

How can I schedule Internet Explorer to go to certain web pages at certain times? For example the start-page of the local newspaper quarter past every hour. I will log the traffic and post-process some days later (with Wireshark or similar).

Thank you in advance. I have tried to find if this question has already been answered, my apologies if it has.

I haven't worked with it myself, but Selenium might work for you:

Selenium is a suite of tools to automate web app testing across many platforms.

This forum post discusses how to run IE with a scheduled task under windows: http://www.abestweb.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49121

Might be worth a look.
