hi everyone, > Another one, though limited to 5 users, is at > http://www.paessler.com/webstress/. Some may remember that I was > previously > promoting OpenLoad (http://www.opendemand.com/cf/), who also > offer a 5 user > load testing tool that's remotely hosted. -- haven't seen this mentioned yet... if you're comfortable w/ Java, take a look at JMeter, which is a pure Java desktop application that can be configured to run as many tests as the your client machine can handle (my p1.8/256mb client ran up to 75 concurrent w/ no problems). More information here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/index.html *very useful* instructions on getting started w/ a web stress plan: http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/build-web-test-plan.html > The thing I like about Paessler over OpenLoad is that it's a regular > installed program. A hosted product has its place, but for some simple > testing (or inside a firewall), an installed program is the > better solution. +1, JMeter is an installed (ie: non-hosted) program.. because it's Java it can run from Linux, Windows and presumably Mac. > I also recommend Paessler over the MS stress tool only because I like its > interface better. Again, if 5 users is enough (and hammering a site > frequently they can generate quite a load in a short time), then it may be > worth a look. Note also that their commercial versions are at like $50 for > 20 users, \$125 for 100 users, and only $325 for unlimited users. +1 JMeter == free.
