Selenium is great for functional testing -- and hooking it into Ant
for running nightly/continuous tests is great.

I think all of the load-testing tools, open and commercial, are a

Paessler's web stress tool is probably the best balance of expense and
features. I've used Grinder (open) and Empirix ($$$$). Argh.
