Load Testing

I'm interested in hearing what others are doing for load testing and what software they use. Thanks, Mike Harman

I've had good luck with the MS stress test tool: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/archive/itsolutions/intranet/downloads/webstres.mspx?mfr=true On Wed, Apr 2, 2008 at 2:39 PM, Mike Harman < mharman@harmanscomputerservices.com> wrote: > I'm interested in hearing what others are doing for load testing and what > software they use. > > Thanks, > Mike Harman

There's also Selenium (http://selenium-ide.openqa.org/download.jsp) and LoadRunner (now of HP, formerly of Mercury Software https://h10078.www1.hp.com/cda/hpms/display/main/hpms_content.jsp?zn=bto&cp=1-11-126-17%5E8_4000_100__). Selenium is free, LoadRunner is exceedingly not free. Matthew Williams Geodesic GraFX www.geodesicgrafx.com/blog

We have been using Empirix eTEST Suite for years, but we're about to also start using TestComplete Enterprise (handles both web-based and Windows forms-based apps). The most important thing is not the software you use, it's the methodology you use.  I have seen a lot of load tests, and this may seem like an exaggeration, but hardly any of them are actually effective in testing what needs to be tested. We run a load testing lab, so whether you want to hire it out to us, or if you just want some advice, then contact me offlist and I'll be happy to help in either capacity.
