Hi Peter: I don't know of an open 'standard' website for performance testing.
But if you are interested in common web-based application, open-source applications like Slashcode (http://www.slashcode.com/) or Bugzilla (http://www.bugzilla.org/) are used to run high-performance sites and would be useful. For convenience, you could download and run pre-packaged VMWare appliances: http://www.vmware.com/appliances/ ... and transfer the image to hardware -- this 'Virtual to Physical' guide should help in doing this: http://www.vmware.com/support/v2p/index.html Kind regards, Sonam Chauhan -- Corporate Express Australia Ltd.

That is, a set of web pages, complete with images, forms, perhaps some PHP or other middleware processing that make up what might be considered a 'standard' website that could be found in the wild, with a minimum of idiosyncrasy, a typical example might be a generic 'bookstore' website. The purpose is to have a 'reference' site implementation against which I can test (a) different stress techniques, and (b) different hardware configurations, and make some generalisations about how they perform. I am aware that the web is a wide and varied technology, and so any 'reference' site will not be representative of all other sites, but please don't worry too much, this work is research-based, and so this doesn't matter so much at this point. I can always expand/build a library of reference implementations of sites of different types later. SPEC (http://www.spec.org/) tests are mostly based on reference implementations, but they are not free, costing around $200+ for an educational version. I'm after something like that, but open. Does anyone have any idea where to find such things, or perhaps it might be useful to build a library of things like this myself?
