I’ve now added Siege to the list, Steve. Thanks for another. To be clear, again, there are several other free solutions in my list that can “test basic concurrency”, too, and I clarify which are free/commercial, downloaded or hosted, and what platforms are supported.

Not sure if it is available in windows but works great in Linux/unix.

I’ll admit I don’t really describe or review the tools I list there (just way too many). I do list both free and commercial, and installed and hosted solutions, for load testing. But I will say that to your need, Ed, you may want to consider the Paessler Web Server Stress tool, which does offer the “recording” feature. Many of the tools do, including free ones. But the Paessler tool, while commercial, does have a free version for 10 users sending each no sooner than every 10 seconds. Admittedly, that’s not “a lot of load”, but that can send be one request per second over the 10 users, so for many that’s better than doing none at all. /charlie ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com -------------------------------------------------------------
