French term

piloter

French to English Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) Load testing
This is actually quite a general term but I wonder whether it may have a very specific meaning in this context:

'Grâce à la puissance du cloud X, X est capable de piloter une multitude de véritables navigateurs web pour simuler la fréquentation de votre site dans des conditions extrêmement réalistes.'

There are the obvious translations of managing/steering/guiding but I'm not sure these are appropriate. I found a previous posting referring to the term 'driving'. Perhaps that is what I'm looking for.

I'd be grateful for any ideas.

Best wishes

Louise

Thanks for your input Didier

What I see in French is to drive -> piloter
In this case seems more appropriate: the web browser has to do various actions: change pages, send data, refresh pages, donwload files, etc,
Louise Etheridge (asker) Oct 31, 2014:
Thanks Gabrielle, it could be that. Just have to see what suggestions come in I suppose
Gabrielle Leyden Oct 31, 2014:
driving web browsers see lots of examples of "application that drives web browsers", etc., on Internet

It could be "control" but I'm not absolutely certain
