Hey people, :) Anyone happen to know of a good "free" ;) tool that will do login simulation stress testing for web portals?
A list of stress testing tools from http://www.secguru.com/webapp/denial-of-service.html * DieselTest ------------------ Dieseltest is a Windows application that simulates hundreds or thousands of users hitting a website. From the perspective of the web server, there is no difference between a request coming from a Dieseltest virtual user and a live user on the web. User can create a test script using script editor provided with the application. The script contains all of the requests that a real-world user would make of a website. * [LoadTest] FakeConnect -------------------------- FakeConnect is a application/network "stress-test" program. It can simulate a real TCP connection (with SYN, ACK, and ACK_SEQ), opening up to 65000 connections without overloading the local machine. * OpenSTA - Open System Testing Architecture --------------------------------------------- Basically scripted HTTP load or stress tests with performance measurement run from a single machine or distributed and coordinated across many machines. Scripts can initially be created by recording actions performed through your normal browser. Editing and programming in "intelligence" to scripts can provide variety over a large numbers of simulated users, sanity checking of returned content and introduction of specialized timers. * http_load - multiprocessing http test client -------------------------------------------------- http_load runs multiple http fetches in parallel, to test the throughput of a web server. However unlike most such test clients, it runs in a single process, so it doesn't bog down the client machine. It can be configured to do https fetches as well. * Web Performance Trainer - Load & Stress Testing Tool ------------------------------------------------------- Web Performance Trainer is a load testing and stress testing tool for Web servers. Its statistical analysis takes your site's performance criteria, and determines the number of users your Web site can handle. Because data is collected at the URL level, it not only identifies slow Web pages, but identifies the particular part of the Web page that caused the problem. * Grinder ------------ The Grinder is a Java load-testing framework. It is freely available under a BSD-style open-source license. The Grinder makes it easy to orchestrate the activities of a test script in many processes across many machines, using a graphical console application. * SIEGE - A free HTTP/HTTPS stress tester ------------------------------------------ Siege is an http regression testing and benchmarking utility. It was designed to let web developers measure the performance of their code under duress, to see how it will stand up to load on the internet. It lets the user hit a web server with a configurable number of concurrent simulated users. HTH, -=skillz=- www.wikisecure.com .
