RE: Slightly OT, load testing CF Applications.
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.
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.

Re: Slightly OT, load testing CF Applications.
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 ... 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.

Re: Slightly OT, load testing CF Applications.
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...

OT: load testing tools/services?
What do people use for load testing? Ideally, we'd like to find a service that we could point to a pre-production version of a website, create several scripted scenarios, and test under various conditions. All for a low, low price, of course. Any recommendations? Kelly Tetterton duo | Technical Lead One Web Company.

Anyone out there know of a web site where you can enter your URL and get stats on page load and size etc? I used to know one - but I've forgotten it. Also, does anyone have a recommendation for a -FREE- load tester (hopefully something you have used yourself).
