Webserver Stress Tool - A Versatile Server Load Test

Most web applications run smoothly and correctly as long as only one user (i.e. the developer) is using it. But what happens when thousands of users access the application simultaneously?!

Webserver stress test tool simulates any number of simultaneous users accessing a web server and helps to streamline your web application.

Using the settings of the performance test software "webserver stress tool", various load patterns can be simulated. Since the stress tool works like a browser any webpage can be tested and stressed, e.g. HTMs, ASPs, CGIs, PHPs, EXEs and more. Webserver stress tool handles proxies, passwords, user agents, cookies and ASP-session IDs.

Features:

  1. Simulates any number of simultaneous users and puts 100% load on your server
  2. uses one or more URLs to test the server/application
  3. Calculates average request time, time to first byte and throughput of the application
  4. Works on any URL and can test any script, CGI, ASP, PHP etc.
  5. Strategy 1: Simulate simultaneous users to determine if your application handles mutexes correctly
  6. Strategy 2: Simulate simultaneous use of different URLs on the server to check for cross page problems
  7. Strategy 3: Steadily increase the number of simultaneous users to find out the limits of your web application and web server (ramp test)
  8. Strategy 4: Try different approaches to code a script and find out which one is the fastest and solve bottlenecks this way
  9. Strategy 5: Keep 100% load on your server for hours and determine system capacity this way
