I currently use Bean-test at work, and I find it a complete tool for EJB performance testing. Overall, I recommend it.
Are you a developer or test engineer? Bean-test can be used in either group. The developers typically use it to quickly check that the EJBs are designed right and scale well before "throwing it over the wall". The QA group would use it to exaustively test the EJBs and the application server/hardware/OS that is present. I would consider Bean-test the defacto industry standard of EJB load testing. If you read the reports and Empirix press, you see that BEA and other apps servers companies use to test their apps servers. If you ask them on your "Quickstart", they provide you a very nice list of big-time customers who use it. Also, note that Empirix has very good customer support, at least with Bean-test. (We don't own their web testing tool.) They gave me email and phone number hotlines when I purchased, and they get back to you within a few hours or day at the most with a meaningful answer. You don't get that will many tool and product makers. I had not heard of the Superstress tool you mention, nor could I find any article reviews on it with a quick search. I can't say whether or not it is a good tool. I would be worried about having a problem with a tool that I recommend to my company that few others known organizations use. Note: I just replied to a post of yours at weblogic.developer.interest.ejb with almost the same info.
