The test can be divided to 2 part. One is for load test, the other for
functionalities.

Maciej already point out some of the tools for part 2. You can also try
Nessus which is a very popular security scanner.

For the part 2, you can try the traditional load testing tools. Aslo, I
knew there are some custormized client-server codes used in some test
labs. Is anybody willing to contribute it by publizing it?
