LIST OF LOAD TESTING TOOLS
· Apache
JMeter
The Apache JMeter™ desktop application is open source software, a 100% pure Java application designed to load test functional behavior and measure performance. It was originally designed for testing Web Applications but has since expanded to other test functions.
· NeoLoad
The web testing solution for optimizing all your applications NeoLoad is a load testing software solution designed for Web applications to realistically simulate user activity and monitor server behavior. NeoLoad's exclusive technology allows you to perform web testing more quickly, efficiently and frequently, which means you can confidently deploy your Internet, intranet or mobile applications whatever architecture they may use, even the newest such as Flex, Silverlight, GWT and Ajax Push.
· LoadRunner
HP LoadRunner is the industry standard for application performance testing. The load testing tool helps you prevent issues by detecting bottlenecks and to obtain an accurate picture of end-to-end system performance before going live.
Extremely flexible for organizations and projects of all sizes, LoadRunner software testing tool enables you to test a range of applications including mobile, Ajax, Flex, HTML 5, .NET, Java, GWT, Silverlight, SOAP, Citrix, ERP and legacy.
· Loadtracer
Loadtracer is one of the best web performance testing tools developed by Trace Technologies Pvt. Ltd. It is very user friendly tool used for web application load testing and performance testing. For web application performance testing, monitoring and performance management also this tool can be used effectively.
· LoadUI
LoadUI is a Open Source Load Testing solution that is free and cross-platform. With a visual, drag-and-drop interface, it allows you to create, configure and redistribute your Load Tests interactively and in real-time. In a single test environment, LoadUI provides complete test coverage and supports all the standard protocols and technologies. And it’s so powerful, it generates scalable, high-volume and real-world load from any number of local and remote computers. Meet LoadUI, the future of Load Testing.
· WebLOAD
WebLOAD Professional provides a full range of load-testing capabilities:
1. Performance testing functions test the response time of a given request while the system is under load.
2. Scalability testing functions determine the parameters for planning hardware procurement in the face of growing concurrent requests.
3. Reliability testing reveals potential problems arising from extended runs.
· WAPT
WAPT is a load and stress testing tool that provides an easy-to-use and cost-effective way to test any web site, including business applications, mobile sites, web portals, etc.
With WAPT you can create load tests in a matter of minutes. A few clicks are required to make thousands virtual users execute concurrent sessions against your web site. The product supports testing of RIA applications in the data-driven mode. It works with secure HTTPS pages and all types of authentication. Descriptive graphs and reports will let you analyze the performance characteristics of your system components under various load conditions, isolate and fix any bottlenecks and optimize your software and hardware configuration.
· LoadImpact
Load Impact is a cloud-based service for load testing and website optimization. It generates traffic load by simulating users.[1] Load Impact is a so-called freemium service in that it offers a free option as well as a premium option, where the latter gives access to more features.[2] Apart from the service itself, Load Impact does open research on topics such as browser behavior and slashdotting.
· Rational Performance Tester
IBM Rational Performance Tester is a tool for automated performance testing of web and server based applications from the Rational Software division of IBM. It allows users to create tests that mimic user transactions between an application client and server. During test execution, these transactions are replicated in parallel to simulate a large transaction load on the server. Server response time measurements are collected to identify the presence and cause of any potential application bottlenecks. It is primarily used by Software Quality Assurance teams to perform automated software performance testing.
· OpenSTA
OpenSTA is a feature-rich GUI-based web server benchmarking utility that can perform scripted HTTP and HTTPS heavy load tests with performance measurements.[1] It is freely available and distributable under the open source GNU General Public License. OpenSTA currently only runs on Microsoft Windows-based operating systems.
Scripts are recorded in a proprietary language called "SCL". It is a fairly simple coding language that provides support for custom functions, variable scopes, and random or sequential lists.
OpenSTA was originally written by Cyrano who ran into financial difficulties and were taken over by Quotium in 2001. Cyrano's intentions were to write commercial plug in modules and support for OpenSTA for performance testing non-web applications.
· CloudTest
CloudTest is a powerful web and mobile testing platform. No question about it. CloudTest Lite is a free downloadable edition. It delivers rapid test creation, a visual interface, real-time analytics for test automation and performance testing throughout the application development lifecycle. Why is it free? It supports our mission of making powerful testing accessible to anyone. We want to empower developers, performance engineers and QA teams to test faster and more effectively. So, try CloudTest Lite. It’s revolutionary. And it’s free. - See more at: http://www.soasta.com/products/cloudtest-lite#sthash.0ckFv0Q1.dpuf
· Httperf
Httperf is a tool for measuring web server performance. It provides a flexible facility for generating various HTTP workloads and for measuring server performance. The focus of httperf is not on implementing one particular benchmark but on providing a robust, high-performance tool that facilitates the construction of both micro- and macro-level benchmarks. The three distinguishing characteristics of httperf are its robustness, which includes the ability to generate and sustain server overload, support for the HTTP/1.1 and SSL protocols, and its extensibility to new workload generators and performance measurements.
