Stress test Apache::ASP application.

[Richard Curtis <ri...@crosswired.co.uk>]

I am looking for a way to stress test my web app which has been 
developed in Apache::ASP.

I have seen an application called "Microsoft Application Center Test" 
which can literally record a users actions in Internet Explorer, then 
simulate this action over an over again.

This application comes with .Net Enterprise Edition, so is not cheap.

Does anyone know of any free / shareware apps that can do a similar 
thing, but work with an Apache web server.

The M$ Application Center Test seems to also have functionality to query 
the webserver as to how much CPU it is using... this is obviously 
something specific to IIS/Windows, but it would be nice if there is any 
alternative to this for us users who are running under Apache on Linux.

Anyone got any ideas ?

Richard

The Roboweb project was meant to be a proxy capture replay testing method:

   http://sourceforge.net/projects/roboweb/

You might look into HTTP::WebTest on CPAN for another method.

Personally, I find using ab ( ApacheBench ) to be normally adequate,
but would use direct LWP scripting for something more advanced.
LWP programming can easily enable the capture & reuse of cookies
which can help when using ASP sessions.

Josh

There must be similar things. I have seen at least one similar app on 
sourceforge.net, but sorry, I cannot remember the name of the project. 
There might even be a CPAN module, at least something similar exists for 
sure. Probably these are harder to use than MACT, but at least they are 
free.
