You're going to find that no company, Fig Leaf included, does this cheaply. It's a complex, expensive process.

Stress testing CF 5 application?
I need ideas/suggestions on tools to stress test a very complex CF 5 application. I have used Microsoft's Web Application Stress Tool before (may have the name slightly wrong), but don't think it will suffice in this case. Mainly because it craps out my computer when I try to record a script. The actions performed and/or data posted between pages is done through Form fields, URL parameters, or Client variables. Pages are VERY dynamic - javascript WDDX, and using IFrames to query/update data without reloading a page. Off the top of my head, I can't see any easy way to make the scripts for the MS tool. Any suggestions for a free/low cost testing solution that could handle the above type of application? Thanks a bunch. Shawn Grover __ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

And I want to know a good next move. Also.. I want to toss traffic at my own site and let my error reporter run and see how far I can crank it up.. good weekend project..

I would recommend that you look into transferring your client store to SQL server (or Access in the short term) as soon as possible and see if that helps. If the registry is nearly full, then a temporary temporary measure would be to increase the size of the registry in the system settings. Regards Stephen __ Why Share?

RE: Recommend a Stress Testing tool?
Client vars in the registry is only bad because you need to keep an eye on the growth of the registry. I think that it would be slower for the client vars to come from the DB on high volume sites than the registry. As far as jobs goes, I guess it is a matter of looking as I haven't been for awhile now.

Re: Stress Testing & Cold Fusions Limits
Tony, Finding out where an application "peaks out" is a complex question and depends on your code and the database etc. Charlie Arehart spoke before our user group a few years back on the subject of load testing. I also believe he wrote an article on the subject in CFDJ though I couldn't locate it with a quick search. I've actually used one of the tools he spoke of that night by a company called OpenDemand and I believe they have a free web trial. There is also a free load tester from Microsoft and another one from a German company. If you can locate either that article or Charlie's powepoint it should answer most of the questions you might have. I know that I learned an awful lot about my application after I did some basic load testing.

Re: Stress Testing & Cold Fusions Limits
Hi, Check out grinder out and see if it helps. http://www.anticlue.net/archives/000395.htm The one main drawback is that you need to have multiple sessions on multiple PCs, because it overwhelms the local pc's nic card since they normally are lower end. The other program that is great for load testing is load runner from Mercury Interactive. I believe there is a 10 day trail version.

I would say it "peaks out" when it has reached a level of load that prevents it from having a tolerable response time for new requests. Of course, that's not much of an answer, but that's all the answer you'll get with the information you've provided. It's up to you to determine what's an acceptable response time ceiling, and to use load testing to determine how many concurrent users it takes to reach that ceiling. > Also.. I want to toss traffic at my own site and let my error reporter > run and see how far I can crank it up.. good weekend project.. Anyone > got any recommendations on a good program to... bombard your site with > traffic? I would recommend OpenSTA (http://www.opensta.org/). It's a free, Windows-based load testing tool. However, I would disagree with your characterization of load testing as a "good weekend project". Load testing is a relatively complicated and non-trivial task, if you intend to get useful results from your tests. I would also recommend that you thoroughly read the OpenSTA documentation, which will give you some idea of what load testing typically entails.

Re: Stress Testing & Cold Fusions Limits
Happy New Year, When I said a good weekend project.. I just meant that mine is the type of site that slacks off on weekends so you know, if I do toss too much, it doesn't hurt a user's experience because weekend traffic is a mere fraction of weekday traffic. I would of course test at various times, but initial testing seems to be a good idea on off-peak hours. Thanks for the link, google didn't bring that one up for me, but I'm very interested in trying it.

Well, what exactly do you want to accomplish with your tests? Figuring this out, and actually doing it, is again a non-trivial task. It's also not the kind of thing you typically do within a live production environment, for many reasons - you may actually cause damage to that environment, for one! > Thanks for the link, google didn't bring that one up for me, but I'm > very interested in trying it.

OT: Stress testing tools - OpenSTA vs JMeter
Does anyone have a view on which of these is a better tool for stress testing a Java-based web app on a remote Linux server and/or on local Windows dev boxes? And why? Or is there a better free tool (eg MS WAS)? What I'd like to achieve is an integrated approach where we can generate HTTP requests on the client(s), and record the statuses and timings of the responses, but also somehow record/analyse what's happening inside the server (Apache, MySQL, JVM, JRun etc) at the same time. Or would it be more sensible to use different tools for these two jobs - finding problems vs investigating them? I'm looking to standardize on something for ongoing use as part of a development process, so I guess another important thing is the features for recording/storing/sharing reasonably complex scenario information. We're also considering moving to Eclipse/Ant/JUnit - any synergies there would be great, which seems to point towards JMeter...but OpenSTA appears a more finished application?

Of course, it only runs on Windows clients, but that hasn't been a problem for me yet. You can use it (or any other load test tool for that matter) to load test web applications no matter what they're written in. > What I'd like to achieve is an integrated approach where we > can generate HTTP requests on the client(s), and record the > statuses and timings of the responses, but also somehow > record/analyse what's happening inside the server (Apache, > MySQL, JVM, JRun etc) at the same time.

Load test tools don't tell you what's going on at the server, they just tell you how long it takes for the server to respond (response time), and how much data the server sends back (throughput). In the case of a performance analysis test, you then examine the slow pages and see if you can improve their performance. You can, however, manually correlate your load tests with server monitoring. Unfortunately, though, it's very difficult to figure out exactly what's going on at any given instant, in my experience. Perhaps some of the commercial tools now offer a server component for this, but those tools are generally very expensive (although I think they're almost worth it!) > I'm looking to standardize on something for ongoing use as > part of a development process, so I guess another important > thing is the features for recording/storing/sharing > reasonably complex scenario information. > > We're also considering moving to Eclipse/Ant/JUnit - any > synergies there would be great, which seems to point towards > JMeter...but OpenSTA appears a more finished application?

Re: OT: Stress testing tools - OpenSTA vs JMeter
Nick I have used OpenSTA a couple of times and it provides very good stress testing logs, although I must admit I am a bit rusty on its workings currently. With regards to the server side you could enable CFperfmon to get analysis from that. The problem (or benefit) on multi-tierd systems is that each application (db, web server, etc) all have their own log files, so you can spit it out at each stage to see what is doing what. With Coldfusion (I presume you are running it) you can at least see some of this with the debug. I am not sure of good server side reporting tools, apart from the ones that come with Windows Hope that helps a little MD On Fri, 2 Jul 2004 10:52:46 +0100, Nick de Voil <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Does anyone have a view on which of these is a better tool for stress > testing a Java-based web app on a remote Linux server and/or on local > Windows dev boxes?
