RE: Web Application Stress Tools

Chris,

You could check out Microsoft's Web Application Stress Tool: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/itsolutions/intranet/downloads/webstres .asp

It's not as rich in functions as Jmeter, but it's quite easy to setup and get running. The built-in reports are a good start; the data is stored in an Access database, so you can write your own queries for more complex analysis.

Cheers,

Subject: Web Application Stress Tools

Hello,

    I was wondering if anyone knew of an application that I could use to stress a box. I was going to write my own with Netcat sending custom GETs and timing the response and doing this across several computers. Let me know if anyone has something better for free and is easy to use.

Do you need help?
