I used MS's Homer stress tool downloadable for free from
Microsoft. You will
have to do some searching Microsoft doesn't call it the Homer
tool. Its
called Homer after its developers. Microsoft calls it some kind of Web
Application test tool or something.

Sanctum (http://www.sanctuminc.com/) puts a product called
AppScan that you
might be interested in. I'm in the process of filling out the
NDA so I can
get a demo version. It ain't cheap, but if you need the
ability it claims to
offer (and it delivers on the claims) it should be a
must-have product.

I have been asked to look for tools that can be used to test our web
applications, both from a security and a performance standpoint.  I
would
appreciate any comments on existing tools, both commercially available
and
free-ware.  All suggestions and comments welcome.
TIA...... dave
