Apache JMeter
Apache JMeter is open source software, a 100% pure Java desktop application designed to load test functional behavior and measure performance. It was originally designed for testing Web Applications but has since expanded to other test functions. Here is a quick video tutorial on using Jmeter.It may be used to test performance both on static and dynamic resources (files, Servlets, Perl scripts, Java Objects, Data Bases and Queries, FTP Servers and more). It can be used to simulate a heavy load on a server, network or object to test its strength or to analyze overall performance under different load types. You can use it to make a graphical analysis of performance or to test your server/script/object behavior under heavy concurrent load.
Selenium

It can be used to test individual system components that have HTTP interfaces (JSP, ASP, CGI, PHP, AJAX, Servlets, HTML Forms, XML/SOAP Web Services, REST, etc), and can be used as a test harness to create a suite of [HTTP level] automated functional, acceptance, and regression tests. A test harness allows you to run many test cases and collect/report your results. WebInject offers real-time results display and may also be used for monitoring system response times.
WebInject can be used as a complete test framework that is controlled by the WebInject User Interface (GUI). Optionally, it can be used as a standalone test runner (text/console application) which can be integrated and called from other test frameworks or applications.
Siege
Siege is an http load testing and benchmarking utility. It was designed to let web developers measure their code under duress, to see how it will stand up to load on the internet. Siege supports basic authentication, cookies, HTTP and HTTPS protocols. It lets its user hit a web server with a configurable number of simulated web browsers. Here is a pretty good article on how to use Siege.Http load
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. Sample usage:% ./http_load -rate 5 -seconds 10 urls 49 fetches, 2 max parallel, 289884 bytes, in 10.0148 seconds 5916 mean bytes/connection 4.89274 fetches/sec, 28945.5 bytes/sec msecs/connect: 28.8932 mean, 44.243 max, 24.488 min msecs/first-response: 63.5362 mean, 81.624 max, 57.803 min HTTP response codes: code 200 -- 49
HTTP Test Tool
HTTP Test Tool is a script based tool for testing and benchmarking web applications, web servers, proxy servers and web browsers. httest can emulate clients and servers even in the same test script. Emulating servers is a unique feature, very usefull for testing proxy servers, web browsers and HTTP clients.ApacheBench
ApacheBench is a command line computer program for measuring the performance of HTTP web servers. It was designed to give an idea of the performance that a given Apache installation can provide. In particular, it shows how many requests per second the server is capable of serving. The ab tool comes bundled with your standard Apache, you can find it in apache install bin directory.OpenSTA
OpenSTA is a distributed software testing architecture designed around CORBA, it was originally developed to be commercial software by CYRANO. The current toolset has the capability of performing scripted HTTP and HTTPS heavy load tests with performance measurements from Win32 platforms. However, the architectural design meansOpenSTA is a distributed software testing architecture designed around CORBA, it was originally developed to be commercial software by CYRANO. The current toolset has the capability of performing scripted HTTP and HTTPS heavy load tests with performance measurements from Win32 platforms. However, the architectural design means it could be capable of much more.
OpenWebLoad
OpenWebLoad is a tool for load testing web applications. It aims to be easy to use and providing near real-time performance measurements of the application under test. This is particulary useful when you are doing optimization as you can see the impact of your changes almost immediately.Pylot
Open source tool by Corey Goldberg for generating concurrent http loads. Define test cases in an XML file – specify requests – url, method, body/payload, etc – and verifications. Verification is by matching content to regular expressions and with HTTP status codes. HTTP and HTTPS (SSL) support. Monitor and execute test suites from GUI (wxPython), and adjust load, number of agents, request intervals, rampup time, test duration. Real-time stats and error reporting are displayed.JCrawler
An open-source stress-testing tool for web apps; includes crawling/exploratory features. User can give JCrawler a set of starting URLs and it will begin crawling from that point onwards, going through any URLs it can find on its way and generating load on the web application. Load parameters (hits/sec) are configurable via central XML file; fires up as many threads as needed to keep load constant; includes self-testing unit tests. Handles http redirects and cookies; platform independent.Curl-Loader
Open-source tool written in ‘C’, simulating application load and behavior of tens of thousand HTTP/HTTPS and FTP/FTPS clients, each with its own source IP-address. In contrast to other tools curl-loader is using real C-written client protocol stacks, namely, HTTP and FTP stacks of libcurl and TLS/SSL of openssl. Activities of each virtual client are logged and collected statistics include information about: resolving, connection establishment, sending of requests, receiving responses, headers and data received/sent, errors from network, TLS/SSL and application (HTTP, FTP) level events and errors.FunkLoad
FunkLoad is a functional and load web tester, written in Python, whose main use cases includes Functional testing of web projects and regression testing as well. It?s also capable of performance testing your app by loading the web application and monitoring your servers which helps to pinpoint bottlenecks, giving a detailed report of performance measurement. FunkLoad also expose bugs that do not surface in cursory testing, like volume testing or longevity testing.FWPTT
fwptt it’s a Web application tester program for load testing web applications. It can record normal and ajax requests. I tested it on asp.net applications, but it should work with jsp, php or other.
Hammerhead – Web Testing Tool
Hammerhead is a web site coverage, HTTP load generator, HTTP benchmarking, and stress testing tool. It has been designed to emulate multiple users from multiple IP addresses at maximum speed.Raw Load Tester
The application calls the URL you select as many times as you choose and tells you how long it took the server to respond. It writes some additional runtime details to the PHP log file so you can optionally do more granular analysis afterwards. Although the server processes most of the statistics, all URL requests come from the browser. You can run as many browsers and workstations simultaneously as you want.Apache Flood
Flood is a profile-driven HTTP load tester. In layman’s terms, it means that flood is capable of generating large amounts of web traffic. Flood’s flexibility and power arises in its configuration syntax. It is able to work well with dynamic content.LoadSlim
LoadSim is a web application load simulator. It allows you to create simulations and have those simulations run against your webserver.HttpUnit
Open source Java program for accessing web sites without a browser. Ideally suited for automated unit testing of web sites when combined with a Java unit test framework such as JUnit. Emulates the relevant portions of browser behavior, including form submission, basic http authentication, cookies and automatic page redirection, and allows Java test code to examine returned pages as text, an XML DOM, or containers of forms, tables, and links. Includes ServletUnit to test servlets without a servlet container.IeUnit
IeUnit is a simple framework to test logical behaviors of web pages. It helps software engineers to create, organize and execute functional unit tests.Imprimatur
Imprimatur is designed to be the simplest web application functional testing tool that could possibly work. It sends HTTP requests to the application, and then validates the responses using regular expressions. The tests are written in an XML file. Imprimatur supports most of HTTP including: GET, POST, PUT, HEAD and DELETE methods, HTTP authentication, setting and checking of HTTP headers, and file uploads.Apache Benchmarking tools
Howto: Performance Benchmarks a Webserver
Apache Benchmark Procedures
- You need to use same hardware configuration and kernel (OS) for all tests
- You need to use same network configuration. For example, use 100Mbps port for all tests
- First record server load using top or uptime command
- Take at least 3-5 readings and use the best result
- After each test reboot the server and carry out test on next configuration (web server)
- Again record server load using top or uptime command
- Carry on test using static html/php files and dynamic pages
- It also important to carry out test using the Non-KeepAlive and KeepAlive (the Keep-Alive extension to provide long-lived HTTP sessions, which allow multiple requests to be sent over the same TCP connection) features
- Also don't forget to carry out test using fast-cgi and/or perl tests

The guilty developer can be identified and harassed without human intervention. By running the builds on a variety of platforms, developers who do not have the facilities to test their changes everywhere before checkin will at least know shortly afterwards whether they have broken the build or not. Warning counts, lint checks, image size, compile time, and other build parameters can be tracked over time, are more visible, and are therefore easier to improve.

Cabie provides a centralized collection point for all builds providing web based dynamic access, the collector is SQL based and provides information for all projects under Cabie's control. Cabie can be integrated with bug tracking systems and test systems with some effort depending on the complexity of those systems. With the idea in mind that most companies create build systems from the ground up, Cabie was designed to not have to re-write scripted builds but instead to integrate existing build scripts into a smart collector. Cabie provides rapid email notification and RSS integration to quickly handle build issues. Cabie provides the ability to run builds in parallel, series, to poll jobs or to allow the use of scripted nightly builds. Cabie is perfect for agile development in an environment that requires multiple languages and tools. Cabie supports Perforce, Subversion and CVS. The use of a backend broker allows anyone with perl skills to write support for additional CM systems.

Hudson monitors executions of repeated jobs, such as building a software project or jobs run by cron. Among those things, current Hudson focuses on the following two jobs:
1. Building/testing software projects continuously, just like CruiseControl or DamageControl. In a nutshell, Hudson provides an easy-to-use so-called continuous integration system, making it easier for developers to integrate changes to the project, and making it easier for users to obtain a fresh build. The automated, continuous build increases the productivity.
2. Monitoring executions of externally-run jobs, such as cron jobs and procmail jobs, even those that are run on a remote machine. For example, with cron, all you receive is regular e-mails that capture the output, and it is up to you to look at them diligently and notice when it broke. Hudson keeps those outputs and makes it easy for you to notice when something is wrong.
