Apache Benchmark (ab) works great for testing individual URLs, but doesn't handle cookies, POST data, etc.
For comprehensive testing using open source tools, we use FunkLoad - http://funkload.nuxeo.org/
Wim
www.websitepulse.com is more a monitoring system, but maybe there are load tools also.
look for load runner ... and the other one is called WTA .... one is from IBM and the other one was supported from microsoft......
rational rose product suite is also good to start with...
we use java's junit for flow testing....and custom tool for stress testing our complete application.
let me know if above helps... for more you can contact me....i will be glad to help you out.
We've used JMeter with great success: http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/
ab from apache standard package - really super tool
You should definitely consider JMeter, it's open source, has a load of supported protocols already, including HTTP. Also, being open source you can add your own custom java components for unsupported protocols.
I have used it with great success on a few systems already, I have yet to see a limitation with it.
As for the commercial solutions, I have used Web Load before, but I would not recommend it. It is nice but very expensive. Plus you are stuck with the solution as is, I usually will run into custom needs where commercial tools will not allow me enough flexibility to tailor to my needs.
Thanks for the useful comments. I am sure it will help users to improve their applications.
