SpecWeb2005 is supposed to be the benchmark. However it isn't free (neither as in freedom, nor as in beer), so it'll cost you $1200 USD. Obviously for most of the people SpecWeb isn't simply an option. The three software packaged that I'd recommend are: - ab: It does the job for simple cases. Odds are it'll be enough. - httperf: It's more flexible and complex. I'd used it in case ab doesn't fit my needs. - stressing: We have developed a distributed stress test. It doesn't benchmark the server, but it does a great job ensuring its stability.
