Re: Load testing tools.
I got quite into jMeter, but its a bit finicky to get into. Once you understand how it works, tho', its very flexible (and free!)

RE: Load testing tools.
+1 for jMeter. It's not *too* finicky... Coupla nice features worth mentioning: 1. You can set it to either remember or forget cookies. With cookies on, you can script a whole login sequence and use that as your load test. With cookies off, you can stress your server with 50,000 live sessions in the blinking of an eye. 2. The test scripts can read parameters out of a comma-delimited file. If you point the above-mentioned login sequence at a file containing a bunch of user accounts, you can get the worst of both worlds and have 50,000 live *authenticated* sessions. Kind of fun. Your server *will* crash - but do you know when? (cue spooky music).

Hi Kelly, I have used www.opensta.org in the past. It's open source, fast, easy to use and very stable. Make sure you read the getting started guide though.

I believe they were voluntarily participating in a website blackout to protest pending software patent legislation in Europe.
