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? ############################################ #Yang Lee # #Sr. Internet Security Engineer, Net2phone # #Tel. 973-412-3556 # #Email.
