Dear All

Any suggestion for choosing good free/commercial stress and performance testing tool for application server?

Walter,
While this is about tools, I'm going to move it to the Performance forum. You also might try running a search in that forum to get some ideas/feedback on tools.

I have used the HttpClient toolkit to simulate web server loads. It is just a toolkit for emulating a browser type client - you will have to provide the main program and script for a complete test.

I've heard good things about JMeter. You might also want to do a search in the Testing forum...

The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny - it is the light that guides your way. - Heraclitus

Jmeter's simple to setup and use. You do have to read about 4 pages of intro to understand how it works, not just start the GUI and go, but once you understand what it's all about, no problem.

The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.

You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.

Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
