Performance Testing is the process of determining the speed,
effectiveness, reliability, scalability and interoperability of the system,
computer, network, program or application. The process can also check two or
more application to compare system speed, data transfer rate, bandwidth,
efficiency and reliability. These load testing tools will ensure your
application performance in peak traffic and extreme stress conditions. The list
includes open source as well as licensed performance testing tools. But almost
all licensed tools have a free trial version so that you can get a chance to
work hands-on before deciding which is the best tool for your needs.
1. WebLOAD
WebLOAD lets you perform load and stress testing on any
internet application using Ajax, Adobe Flex, .NET, Oracle Forms, HTML5 and many
more technologies. You can generate load from the cloud and on-premises
machines. The tool supports large-scale performance testing with heavy user
load and complex scenarios and provides clear analysis on the functionality.
2. Hp Load Runner
This is a HP product which can be used as a performance
testing tool. This is very helpful to
understand and determine the performance and outcome of the system when there
is an actual load. Another important feature is that it can create and handle
thousands of users at the same time. Lower hardware and software costs by
accurately predicting system capacity. Effective tool utilization tracking. It Requires
24*7 support for technical assistance during execution.
3. Borland SilkPerformer
Silkperformer tool is an enterprise class load and stress
testing tool and has ability to test multiple application environments with the
thousands of concurrent users. It requires only a minimum hardware resources
for virtual user simulation. It can generates reports with tables and graphs
and allows customization. It supports the protocols like HTTP/HTML, HTTPS/HTML,
HTTP/HTTPS, Flash. No License requirement for Controllers or Individual
Protocols.
4. Rational Performance Tester
This Rational Performance tester was developed by IBM
(Rational software division).The Rational performance tester is an automated
performance testing tool which can be used for a web application or a server
based application where there is a process of input and output is involved. Any
leakage in the website or the server can be identified and rectified
immediately with the help of this tool. This tool can be the best option in
building an effective and error free cloud computing service.
5. Apache Jmeter
It is a Java platform application. It is mainly considered
as a performance testing tool and it can also be integrated with the test plan.
This tool has the capacity to be loaded into a server or network so as to check
on its performance and analyze its working under different conditions.
