Load and Performance Test Tools

Xceptance LoadTest - Load testing and regression tool from Xceptance Software Technologies, Inc for web and Java and other app load testing. Includes recording capabilities. XLT Cloud Service available. Tests implemented as JUnit 4 test cases. For web-based tests, the framework provides a (headless) browser that can emulate Internet Explorer or Firefox behaviour. Can execute client-side JavaScript in the emulated web browsers and that way it simplifies the creation of test cases for Web 2.0 applications. Platform independent due to tool being implemented in Java; test scripting in Java or Ruby. Free for up to five virtual users.

SiteBlaster - Web site load and stress testing tool; shareware. Can be used to rapidly submit requests to a site, or can pause a random amount of time between submissions, approximating user behavior. During testing the pages being tested will be displayed. Reports created on test completion. Designed to be very easy to use; intended for software developers and architects who want some early indication about performance characteristics of the web sites they create. Simulates MS IE web browsing functionality; a web page that is well behaved in IE should be well behaved in SiteBlaster. Best used to test those sites that use URL query strings to pass data to its web page(s). PDF user guide available. For Windows.

In contrast to other tools curl-loader is using real C-written client protocol stacks, namely, HTTP and FTP stacks of libcurl and TLS/SSL of openssl. Activities of each virtual client are logged and collected statistics include information about: resolving, connection establishment, sending of requests, receiving responses, headers and data received/sent, errors from network, TLS/SSL and application (HTTP, FTP) level events and errors.

RealityLoad XF On-Demand Load Testing - An on-demand load testing service (no licenses) from Gomez.com. Leverages Gomez' peer panel, which consists of over 15,000 end-user desktop testing locations distributed across the world, to provide distributed load tests that accurately reproduce the network and latency characteristics encountered by real users in a live environment.
