Top 15 Performance Testing Tools
Inadequate
testing for performance of an application can lead to costly setbacks for
organisations (e.g. loosing customers to competitors). High performant,
scalable, less resource intensive etc are few of the traits of a high
performing software. By definition in software engineering, performance testing
is testing that is performed, to determine how fast some aspect of a system
performs under a particular workload. It can also serve to validate and verify
other quality attributes of the system, such as scalability, reliability and
resource usage. Any mission critical software should be tested for its
performance. Following is the list of few tools which can be used for
performance testing:
Proxy Sniffer is one of the
leading tools that use cloud technology for load testing. This tool can
be used for both web as well as application servers. The capacity of
these cloud based loadtests can range from simulating 100 users up to several
thousands. The best bit is you can pay for only what you are using. Its
as simple as that.

Load Impact is an online
load testing service that lets you load and stress test your website over the
Internet and on demand. Register an account and get immediate access to our
distributed network of load generator nodes. These are powerful server clusters
with very fast connections that are able to simulate tens of thousands of
users accessing your website concurrently. We will also provide you with easy
to understand graphs so that you can access your website's performance during
high traffic and find where the bottlenecks are.

Keynote
Test Perspective is a cost-effective, completely
self-service Web site load testing tool. With Test Perspective you can run
the most realistic load tests on-demand and receive immediate feedback on
modifications you make to your Web site. "Test Perspective"
utilizes global test and measurement network that
includes load-generating agents from multiple geographic locations and
Internet backbones. Simply get a Test Perspective subscription, let us know
how many virtual users and hours you want, test your Web application at the
traffic levels you desire.
The key defferentiator for this wonderful product is "Dedicated systems on the Keynote Global Network deliver consistent and repeatable load conditions. Keynote never rents capacity on shared infrastructures and never relies upon end-user populations that can change from test to test". |
Monitis is a 100%
Cloud-based, complete, and flexible IT monitoring solution which consolidates
backend monitoring, application monitoring, website monitoring, and cloud
monitoring in an all-in-one, central monitoring service. Monitis automates
and makes easy monitoring of dynamic cloud resources.

SilkPerformer is an
enterprise-class tool for software application performance and load testing.
It provides automated software load, stress and performance testing in an
open and sharable model. With SilkPerformer, you can create powerful,
realistic load tests for thousands of users running business scenarios across
a broad range of enterprise application environments to identify bottlenecks,
and then apply powerful diagnostics to resolve performance issues.

Rational Performance Tester can be used
to identify the presence and cause of system performance bottlenecks.Rational
Performance Tester goes beyond problem identification to problem diagnosis.
Using Root Cause Analysis features, you can identify both the source code and
physical application tier that is causing the bottleneck.
|
AppLoader, a user friendly
high performance, yet highly affordable load testing tool to ensure the
readiness of all your applications. AppLoader allows prevention of
application performance problems throughout your projects' SDLC by providing
end-to-end flexible variations of tests: smoke testing, regression
testing, performance testing, stress testing, functional testing, security
testing, and more. AppLoader is a complete Quality Assurance solutions
package designed for every vertical industry and every application accessible
from a windows front end.

Qtest integrates
into the entire application development and quality control cycle. Operating
anomalies are identified and analyzed to allow for immediate correction. Any
bottlenecks are eliminated. Qtest allows testing of a wide range of project
types and in different environments.
Benefits of using Qtest are as follows:
|
RTI enables measuring of
application performance by quantifying response times for poorly performing
transactions, by collecting performance measurements in the development
environment and measuring performance early on. RTI dynamically enables
performance data collection and diagnoses performance problems from the
workstation/browser, network, web, and application tiers down to the database
query.

Apica LoadTest lets you find
out how many users you can handle without malfunction, and if your web
platform is aligned with your business objectives. Apica LoadTest is designed
to mimic your operational conditions as closely as possible.
Features are as follows:
|
Forecast tests the reliability, performance and
scalability of IT systems by realistically simulating from one to many
thousands of users executing a mix of business processes using individually
configurable data. Forecast is capable of simulating high user concurrency
without the expense and management overhead of excessive hardware. Forecast
targets a wide range of technologies including Web/HTTP, Web Services,
client-side Java, client-side .Net, Citrix, GUI replay, and network level
messaging.

Stress testing software should not stress you
out. WebLOAD Professional is RadView’s award-winning
software for performance testing of internet applications. Key features of
WebLOAD software are as follows:
|
Visual
Studio 2010 Ultimate
edition has the load testing funcationality.
This helps in simulating realtime usage of the web applications. Different
metrics can be captured from performance counters. Test thresholds can be set
to identify if test has passed or failed. Yes you would need license for
ultimate edition to use it. Though ultimate edition comes with complete
developement kit along with testing.

Performance
testing measures the time taken, the
scalability and reliability of an action which is key to performance testing.
Testing Anywhere allows testers to better create, manage, edit and analyze
their performance tests. Advanced logs provide testers with details on each
action, the entire test and even the performance times for a suite of tests.
|
WAPT is a load, stress and performance testing
tool for web sites and applications with web interface. You can test websites
running on different environments and also test multilingual sites using
different language encoding options. Accurate simulation of real user
activity like different types of virtual users visiting different pages,
automatically filling forms, clicking buttons and performing any other usual
activity of real users. WAPT collects exhaustive information about web site
behavior which is represented in form of descriptive reports and graphs.

HP
LoadRunner allows you to prevent
application performance problems by detecting bottlenecks before a new system
or upgrade is deployed. It lets you deploy quality applications with
confidence and enables consistent repeatable testing processes. HP LoadRunner
helps you:
