web application stress testingWas thinking about this topic today, and I remembered a few years back I used Microsoft's Web Application Stress Tool. It did the job (simple stuff, nothing terribly complicated), and it was free, if sometimes a little difficult to use properly. Apparently it's not maintained anymore, since the listed version is still compatible only with W2K. Now, I was any apps out there that people really like for this job, on any platform? What do you use/recommend for web apps stress testing? Categories: soft.devPosted by diego on February 3 2004 at 1:16 AM Comments (please see the comments & trackback policy).
I downloaded openload ( http://openload.sf.net/ ) and found it to be a simple solution for testing. It's very basic but it did the job. In the past I've used eTest, which costs several thousand dollars, and that was quite a nice test tool, for functional and load testing as well as monitoring.

Testing is performed using the record and replay metaphor. Replay scripts can then be used to simulate many users and generate heavy load.

Lots of stuff to look at now. :) Posted by: Diego at February 5, 2004 2:35 PMCopyright © Diego Doval 2002-2007.
