Hi all,

What tools are people using to stress test their site?

How can I simulate say 20000 users hitting my homepage?

How have people approached this??

Thanks

Paul

One of my colleagues is having a play with JMeter:
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/

It looks like it's what you're after, and free.

HTH,

Tim

I don't think that will do IIS or ASP.NET for that matter.

Thanks

Why not? All it does is make repeated requests to a web server. It
doesn't matter what the web server's underlying technology is. As far
as the web server is concerned, JMeter is a browser. It's hard to
emulate ASP.NET form controls, but if you're not relying on
JavaScript, then you should be fine.

Regards,

Tim

Paul, please, again, this is a list about ACCESSIBILITY ISSUES. While one
could argue that load testing has something to do with it, it really belongs
on a list dedicated to that type of thing. There's plenty of good (and more
appropriate) places to ask stuff like this:
