Depends on what you mean with 'better'. There is a tools named ab (Apache Bench) that is part of the apache web server. (The apache guys recommend to use the version that comes with apache 2.0). It doesn't have all those gui features and some restricted means to simulate user interactions, but does a good job in benchmarking certain aspects of an application.
There are other free solutions that have comparable features to ab, but differ in detail and technology. (I don't have the links at hand, we used last year two tools to trackdown a bottleneck and I can't remember enough of the tool names to do a meanfull search for them) Rational had once a tool named SiteLoad which was available for free as a limited version, but it looks like they don't have this product any longer. (I haven't looked if there is new tool that has the equivalent functionality.) (With the microsoft tool we also made some strange expierences with apache+jserv+gnujsp. It looks like they sometimes combine the results of the previous run with the result of the next run. When we started to clean the previous results before the next run the result got more reproducable) > -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- > Von: J.
