A List of few Load & Performance Testing Tools
1. Forecast
Kind of Tool Load, performance and non-GUI functional testing for Web, Java, .NET, databases, network protocols and other technologies. Organization Facilita Software Development http://www.facilita.co.uk/ Software Description Forecast is a tool for load testing, performance measurement and multi-user functional testing. Forecast is one of the very few tools that can test the range of technologies used to implement today¶s corporate IT infrastructure: Web, J2EE, .NET, database client/server and so on. While each Forecast component matches the best stand-alone tool, Forecast can also simulate complex combined test scenarios. Forecast has powerful and extensible application recording and test script generation components. The combination of built-in mechanisms with additional application specific rules maximises the automation of test script production. A test may be executed on multiple machines in order to achieve high degrees of load. Forecast is efficient and has comparatively low hardware requirements. Platforms Support Controller: Windows 2000 or Windows XP, Injectors: Windows 2000, Windows XP, Linux, AIX, Java Injector: requires JRE 1.3 or later.
2. QALoad
Kind of Tool Enterprise-wide load testing tool Organization Compuware Corporation www.compuware.com/ Software Description QALoad is Compuware's load testing tool for client/server or midrange applications. It supports Oracle, Sybase, Microsoft SQL Server and any ODBC-compliant database, as well as http (web), character-based (TelNet), or Tuxedo traffic. QALoad can stress your client/server system by simulating hundreds or thousands of users simultaneously performing different operations. It creates test scripts that are used to simulate application transactions on the client/server system without involving end users or their equipment. QALoad is part of Compuware's comprehensive QACenter family of application testing products. Platforms All Windows and character based platforms
3. Qtest
Kind of Tool Performance testing tool Organization Quotium Technologies Inc http://www.quotium.com/products/qtest-loadtesting.php Software Description Qtest is an automated load testing and monitoring solution. It offers a high capacity for load simulation, extensive monitoring capability and is a new benchmark in affordability and ease of use. Qtest supports all Web, Web Service, J2EE, .Net, ASP, AJAX, CGI, and Mainframe Portal
environments and, in particular, complex Web applications like Siebel, SAP, and Epiphany. With its non-protocol based Winload module, Qtest also supports any non web application. Platforms Windows
4. SilkPerformer

5. Load Runner Product Family
Kind of Tool Multi-user system and server testing tool Organization Hewlett-Packard Company http://www.merc-int.com/ Software Description Automated client/server system testing tools which provide performance testing, load testing and system tuning for multi-user applications Platforms LoadRunner/UX: for UNIX/X Window Applications LoadRunner/PC: for MS Windows Applications LoadRunner/XL: for Server Functionality and Performance LoadRunner/RTE: for Terminal-Based Applications
6. LISA Load & Performance Testing
Kind of Tool High-volume, multi-technology load testing and performance monitoring Organization iTKO, Inc. http://www.itko.com/site/products/lisa/load_performance.jsp Software Description Using highly reusable tests, LISA Load & Performance Testing directly exercises individual components, business processes, and system-wide SOA workflows from design, through deployment. Individual functional component tests and system-wide business processes are load tested using the same environment, resulting in efficient test coverage, with rich functional and performance metrics and reports. Using a server-based controller and simulator, LISA client users can command the LISA Load & Performance server to exercise websites, web services, Java objects/servers (EJB), Messaging buses (ESB), databases, and many other technologies. The tool also offers very efficient load test overhead with the capability to distribute load from any available server across a WAN. Platforms Win XP/2000/Me/Vista, Mac OSX, Linux, Unix, Solaris
