My experience with commercial load-testing apps is that they are
outrageously expensive, a pain to program, don't really scale all that
well, and mostly have to run on Windows with someone sitting at the

Heh. Forgot to state that it does cost an arm and a leg but it's one of
the few software packages that is worth considering paying money for IMO.
However, with the economy being the way it is, it is possible to "rent"
the software for a period of time but this is done by special arrangement

Another application (commercial) is Mercury Interactive's LoadRunner. It
actually records events and plays it back on "load generator" machines.
It's fairly complex, has LOTs of knobs to turn and can load test quite a
bit more than just web apps, I use it to load test/benchmark Oracle 11i

Both of the commercially produced tools I mentioned (SilkPerformer and the

As a general rule, it's easiest if you have a production system already
running. Record all information that you need to reproduce the requests

Anyone know of good guides or general info on
performance testing and emulating real use of
an application.
I would like to understand how to identify
