I use Canoo (Java/ANT/XML based testing connecting to a site using HTTP) and it works really well. With it you can do link and/or load testing, submit form data and compare results (expected vs. received). I use it mostly for regression testing web apps and have been very pleased. You don't have to know Java in order to use Canoo, it has it's own XML based scripting language that is easy to learn and use.
