Apache JMeter

claimed by Apache Software Foundation

Apache JMeter is a 100% pure Java desktop application designed to load test functional behavior and measure performance. Apache JMeter may be used to test performance both on static and dynamic resources (files, Servlets, Perl scripts, Java Objects, Data Bases and Queries, FTP Servers and more). It ... [More] can be used to simulate a heavy load on a server, network or object to test its strength or to analyze overall performance under different load types. You can use it to make a graphical analysis of performance or to test your server/script/object behavior under heavy concurrent load. [Less]

The Grinder

The Grinder is a load testing framework that makes it easy to run a distributed test using many load injector machines. Test scripts are written in Jython, and can call out to arbitrary Java code, providing support for testing a large range of network protocols. The Grinder comes with a mature ... [More] plug-in for testing HTTP services, HTTP scripts can be recorded easily from a browser session. [Less]

Tsung

Tsung is an open-source multi-protocol distributed load testing tool. It is protocol-independent and can currently be used to stress test HTTP, SOAP PostgreSQL, and Jabber servers.

Pylot

Pylot is a free open source tool for testing performance and scalability of web services. It runs HTTP load tests, which are useful for capacity planning, benchmarking, analysis, and system tuning. Pylot generates concurrent load (HTTP Requests), verifies server responses, and produces reports ... [More] with metrics. Tests suites are executed and monitored from a GUI. [Less]

Halberd

Halberd discovers HTTP load balancers. It is useful for web application security auditing and for load balancer configuration testing.

curl-loader

An open-source tool written in C-language, simulating application load and application behavior of thousands and tens of thousand HTTP/HTTPS and FTP/FTPS clients, each with its own source IP-address.

THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS - February 2009Web Performance TestingBuilding Web Performance/Load Testing Tools in Python 3(c) 2008-2009 Corey Goldberg - corey@goldb.org - www.goldb.org This is a brief overview and tutorial on web performance testing with Python. There are sections on general ... [More] performance testing concepts, programming techniques, and how to implement your own performance/load testing tool in Python. I show different implementations of a Python based tool, starting from simple examples and ending with a multithreaded HTTP load generating tool, including: performance timers, response verifications, queuing, and logging. The intended audience is performance engineers, developers, testers, toolsmiths, Python hackers, and anyone interested in building web load test clients.
