Great question, Kevin (about doing load testing). I'd like to hear what others think, as well.
I can share a little: there are several tools available, some free, some at cost. While the server is Unix, are you able to run windows clients? That will open up some more possibilities for the load testing tools (it's certainly no problem for a Windows load-testing tool to bang against a unix server). MS offers a couple of freebies. Their WAS (web app stress) tool is discussed in an article and thread (with some comments on it and others) at http://www.theserverside.com/home/thread.jsp?thread_id=3396 The thread mentions apache jmeter, at http://java.apache.org/jmeter/index.html Another useful article at theserverside is on the general subject of performance testing, at http://www.theserverside.com/resources/article.jsp?l=Tips-On-Performance-Tes ting-And-Optimization, and they mention using webload (http://www.radview.com/products/WebLOAD.asp). Indeed, just today a new article was posted on this very subject, http://www.theserverside.com/home/thread.jsp?thread_id=10669. Then there are commercial products from segue, mercury interactive (mercuryinteractive.com), and empirix (formerly RSW software). Rational was offering a free (not trial) version of their SiteLoad tool for up to like 50 users, but that seems to have disappeared and perhaps was folded into one of their test suites. As an aside, the Emprix's site had an article showing how e-load was used to test a few java app servers, at http://www.zdnet.com/products/stories/reviews/0,4161,2713476,00.html /charlie -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Li [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 07, 2001 12:57 PM To: JRun-Talk Subject: Re: iis with jrun hello. we want debug our Unix System with preformance, is there any simple way to make it higher loaded and busy...
