First of all - I've seen this question, but mine is a bit different. What I need is some framework for logging debug information. This information will NOT be present in production environment. It will be used for tracking down performance problems and other generic bugs. Especially for performance problems, so it will be used a lot tog...
Our product earned bad reputation in terms of performance. Well, it's a big enterprise application, 13 years old, that needs a refreshment treat, and specifically a boost in its performance. We decided to address the performance problem strategically in this version. We are evaluating a few options on how to do that. We do have an exp...
I have been working on a site that makes some pretty big use of AJAX and dynamic JavaScript on the front end and it's time to start stress testing. But how do you properly stress test something that requires clicking several links on the front-end? One way I was able to easily hit every page of the site quickly and repeatedly was to poin...
Hi, I am very new to stress testing and am just trying to learn the ropes. So my questions are: If I have a development server which in terms of software is identical but in terms of hardware has a much lower spec that the production server, is it worth stress testing the development server to identify obvious software defects? How is...
Has anyone come across any good tools (preferably but not necessarily FOSS) that can read a SQL Server (2005/2008) trace file and execute the commands against another database. We are attempting to perform some performance testing on our SQL servers and would like to replicate an actual load. I have come across but not yet used: JMet...
Are there any open source testing tools for testing the Sql Server 2000 stress . ...
We are removing our XSL-> HTML solution annd replacing it with a Flex UI for our userbase. One of the concerns is that the BlazeDS (amf endpoint, so streaming or polling) won't be able to handle the load as well as the EJB -> XML -> XSLT -> HTML stack. My theory is that it should perform better, but I need a way to statistically prove th...
I have a server application that handles clients requests in different manner. I want to know how many users can be served with minimal latency, so I made a small stress test application that simulate the users requests; at the same time another application monitor the memory/CPU utilization. The stress test tool creates thread every s...
what are different ways that we can do some optimum level of stress testing for asp.net application before moving it to the production environment ? ...
Hi, I'm implementing ubr upload. It used Perl and PHP to upload files with a progress bar. I'm running a lighttpd development server and would like to test it fully. Currently it just transfer the files instantly since its really just moving files on my computer. Is there a way to make it seem like it actually transfers it slowly so I ca...
HiI wrote a stress test vor my WCF service, but the service is in the remote machine, Can I measure that windows service used process and other resources? Is there any other tool? ...
Hello My web application is almost exclusively AJAX-based, where data is fetched via a web service and returned via JSON. I'm using WAST to stress test, but I'm sure there are better tools out there for this job. Does anyone have recommendations? Thanks ...
I do a sort of integration/stress test on a very large product (think operating-system size), and recently my team and I have been discussing ways to better organize our test workloads. Up until now, we've been content to have all of our (custom) workload applications in a series of batch-type jobs each of which represent a single stress...
I use Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Suite for load testing of my Web-application (it uses ASP.MVC technology). Load pattern:Constant (this means I have constant amount of virtual users all the time). I specify coniguratiton of 1000 users to analyze perfomance of my Web-application in really stress conditions.I run the same load te...
I'm writing some code on a mobile device that uses a REST service to retrieve data from a host. That REST services is being proxied by Apache. In test mode I would like to be able to simulate network outages (as if the device has lost it's cell connection) to test the applications handling of intermittent failures. I also need to valid...
I'm looking for a simple open source, or reference application that I could use for testing some Java servers. The primary server would be Tomcat, and the database backend is MySQL. Are there some reasonable sample applications out there that are fairly easy to get up and running with? The ideal application would be fairly stateless in ...
Hi all I have developed a web application that I want to stress test. The app uses a Flash swf to allow users to browse for images on their machine and upload them to the webserver. This swf will read jpg images from local file system, resize them and generate a thumbnail and then upload these as byteArray to an AMFPHP script that write...
I am setting up windows performance monitor to log activity on a web server while running MS Web application stress tool. Which counters should I choose to give me the best picture of where I have bottlenecks, slow performance and response etc? cheers ...
I've tried to test a rather complex ASP.NET app not under my control using my tried and true methods, like The Grinder, but it fails due to the authentication mechanism and the postbacks (very long URLs.) Do you know of a good free tool that allows to stress test an ASP.NET application and hopefully allows for a replay of an actual ses...
I tried Siege but it runs on linux, and the ASP.NET Development Server doesn't accept external connections. I tried Web Application Stress Tool but I don't know how to specify the port, since I don't use :80 and it doesn't accept this syntax. ...
