We don't, actually, load test (yeah, I know, shoot me). Our server is huge, over spec'ed, and virtualised just in case we do need more oompf. In general, we just insure it's more or less instant on the dev. system, and trust that the beefier live server will therefore be fine. Our monitoring software records response time on our critical sites, so we would find out if it starts behaving poorly, then we can turn the VMWare knobs up a bit :-) In the past I have used Apache's ab (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/programs/ab.html) and JMeter (http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/index.html) -- Tom Chiverton Helping to dramatically reintermediate cross-media segments on: http://thefalken.livejournal.com **************************************************** This email is sent for and on behalf of Halliwells LLP.
