Tool Mentor: Performance, Load And Stress Test Tool

Performance, load and stress test tools can load an information system by simulating (large numbers of) users. The purpose of this type of testing is to determine whether the system continues to function correctly and at the required speeds under the expected production load. For more information on this subject please refer to section Statistical Usage: Operational Profiles And Load Profiles, and section Performance Test. To determine the possible causes of problems in the measured results, these tools are often used in combination with monitoring tools.
