Many companies use test/build/CI servers for this, such as Buildbot or
Jenkins. I can personally confirm that this approach works quite well:
you get a logged for posterity, typically visible in realtime,
authentication/authorization friendly, form/parameter friendly,
parallel friendly, etc etc, Web UI, for essentially free. All you
typically have to do is whip up some build job whose "execute a shell"
field says something like: "fab $PARAMS" or whatnot.

Best,
Jeff
