What are the best Performance Testing Tools? Test Community At Microsoft. Published Mar 13 AM LoadRunner LoadRunner is the oldest and most mature performance test tool in the market, it has been around since , it really picked up on version 5 or 6 in Pros: Some of its features are not matched by other competitors or not matched with the same level of quality, for example: Its Analysis and Detailed Report features. LoadRunner is able to cross-reference, overlap metrics, do comparisons, with metrics from servers resources and load tests results.
It can create fairly detailed Word Document Reports that are as close to be ready to be send away as it gets. The ability to create complex test scenarios with groups of users starting at different times, ramping up independently. You can even make changes at run-time like increasing or decreasing the number of vusers on a specific script and know what each vuser is doing at a specific moment.
There isn't another tool with these features out-of-the-box. It integrates well with SiteScope to monitor applications and HP Performance Center to schedule and pool resources to run multiple load tests in parallel. LoadRunner has the widest range of applications and protocols it can test.
LoadRunner protocols are libraries with custom functions that make scripting to test these technologies somehow easier and it requires less figuring out stuff as it would be with JMeter or VS.
Since it's a paid tool it comes with dedicated support, documentation, tutorials, etc. Supports Windows, Mac and Linux. It takes less time to setup and get started than other alternatives, notably JMeter.
LoadRunner doesn't integrate well with third-party ALM tools. It integrates with Jenkins for Continuous-release scenarios, however it is not a seamless integration. Recently, LoadRunner is also able to run JMeter, Selenium and Nunit scripts but it requires an interface library and some manual configuration. Limited scripting language support. Until it was Ansi-C only. After LoadRunner can also be scripted with JavaScript. Ansi-C is not a OOP language.
Not only the software itself is costly, but the protocols web, citrix, SAP, etc. JMeter This tool by Apache has been around since and gained popularity throughout the s, taking market share from LoadRunner mainly because it is a free, open-source alternative that can be expensively customized.
Pros: Price. It's free, which also means that is not supported by a proprietor. However it is also open-sourced and has very good community and industry support whom have extended and fixed bugs on it throughout the years.
Compared to LoadRunner, there are no licenses for protocols or virtual users, you can simulate as many users as your infrastructure can handle. It's large community support means that there is considerable training material, blogs, extensions, etc.
It has a drag and drop declarative view for scripts, you can make changes to each request in a dialog interface. Which means that for simple test cases you don't need programming skills.. This somehow compared favorably with LoadRunner, but this feature is also offered by other tools e.
Visual Studio Cons: It is not the most user friendly tool, it is focused on the technology rather than making it easier to do things like defining an scenario based on business requirements or scaling the load.
This can be improved with extensions created by the community and industry, these extensions are not free though. As mentioned before it has good support of third-party ALM tools. It doesn't have an included out-of-the-box cloud load generation feature.

You may have to stress test IIS itself since it's webservice, just loop open request.
Saif Khan Saif Khan In this section, we'll create a C load test project. You can also create a Visual Basic load test project, if you prefer. Enter a name for the project if you don't want to use the default name, and then choose OK.
On the Create a new project page, type web test into the search box, and then select the Web Performance and Load Test Project [Deprecated] template for C. Choose Next. Enter a name for the project if you don't want to use the default name, and then choose Create. Visual Studio creates the project and displays the files in Solution Explorer. The project initially contains one web test file named WebTest1. Select the On-premises Load Test option, and then choose Next. You can learn more about cloud-based load testing here.
Choose Next to step through the wizard until you reach the Add tests to a load test scenario and edit the test mix page. Choose the Add button. Could somebody advice where I can download this tool? Thursday, September 10, AM.
Hi, Thanks from your URL source. The webstress tool is not what I'm looking for. Appreciate somebody could tell me Friday, September 11, AM. Hi ctan66, The Web Application Strss tool you mentioned is a web test tool originally provided for conveniently performing performance test on IIS based web applications. Tuesday, September 15, AM. Proposed as answer by carehart Thursday, September 24, PM. Thursday, September 24, PM. Everyone, This tool has to be somewhere on Microsoft's site.
