Load testing CF

2000-10-31 Thread Tom Dyson

Hi there

Do any of you have experience of load-testing software for your CF apps? We
want to simulate 100 simultaneous users for a large intranet app. We don't
want to spend too much...

Thanks

Tom

In typical Microsoft fashion, they have a free tool for performing Web App
Stress Tests.
I haven't used it yet...

Tom-

RSW software (http://www.rswsoftware.com/) offers a good testing suite 
(e-tester, e-monitor, e-load, etc). I used it on many different sites, 
including CFVault.com and it saved me a lot of trouble.

It gives you a whole new perspective on why you should lock your variables, 
cache your queries, use store procedures, etc.

I hope this helps.

We've been using MS Web Application Stress Tool

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/archive/itsolutions/intranet/downloads/webs
tres.mspx

It's pretty simple to use, but I haven't really been impressed with the
features. I, too, would like to see what else people are using out there.

Re: Slightly OT, load testing CF Applications.

2004-10-11 Thread Spike
I've used OpenSTA in the past with pretty good results.

If you want to do some really heavy duty testing and can afford the 
licenses there are a couple that I'm aware of.

When I used to teach the ColdFusion Performance Tuning class a few years 
back we used Segue SilkPerformer. It was one of the best tools on the 
market at the time and had a feature set similar to OpenSTA. I haven't 
used it since about 2000 though and can't comment on what they've done 
with the prodcut since then.

I've also heard good things about Mercury LoadRunner, but I haven't used 
it myself.

Our load testing lab uses e-TEST Suite 7.0 from Empirix, plus a few other
tools for generating production scale data, analyzing database internals
under load, etc.

We provide this as a service, if you're interested.

We use Microsoft WAST (free) for simple stuff and Segue SilkPerformer
($$$) for heavy duty testing.

But Sean, that only runs on Windows! Given the length of a typical load
test, I'm surprised you can hold your nose that long.

too bad OpenSTA has only win GUI..

try Jmeter

http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/

If you need to get a hold of... system resource data.. etc.. etc.. try 
Nagios (windows plugins are available) and have the output put into a 
DB.. and then use CF to graph.. and it won't taint your results.. I 
think the plugins take.. max 300K mem..

If you are going with Commercial ware.. I would only recommend that 
course.. if you need to graph out rest of your network performance.. and 
other hardware...
