We use a "free" app from Micorosft called Web Application Stress Tool. It's quite nice, since it runs as a service of a bunch of workstations and from a console you can schedule a load test. It can also record your navigation from IE and create a test script.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/itsolutions/intranet/downloads/webstres.asp Note: It's quite hard to setup if you want to fine tune how many threads you want, and perf monitors are useless if you are not running Tomcat in a NT/W2K box, so you'll get only requests per second, speed, HTTP error code listings and so on. You can install the service in common PCs and use them when nobody is working, but results are highly degraded as WAST is a service running on background, specialy on NT Workstation/W2K Professional. Time ago we had to assign budget for old fashioned PCs dedicated to perf test (not just Tomcat ;)) Ivan --- "Extance, Paul" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > We use the load tester from the Jaffa project > (http://jaffa.sourceforge.net/documentation/tools/testing/) > which is based > on HttpUnitTest (http://httpunit.sourceforge.net) > we're able to reuse our > unit tests for load testing, which saves some > development time.
