RE: Web Application Stress Tools

Hi Chris,

Although there are plenty of tools, I particularly like:

• Microsoft Web Stress Tool - www.microsoft.com/technet/itsolutions/intranet/downloads/webstres.asp
• Push2Test TestMaker - http://www.pushtotest.com/ptt
• WebStone - http://www.mindcraft.com/webstone/

All of them are free and have different pros and cons.

• If you are looking for an easy to use, I would definitively recommend you give the Microsoft tool a try.
• The WebStone tool performance is higher than the other two although it is complex to use and has less features (no HTTP/1.1 or SSL support last time I checked).
• TestMaker is the most powerful of the three: easy to use, scriptable (via jython) and with lots of features.

I hope this helps,

Lluis

Asunto: 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?
