WebLoad - experiences or opinions?

Hey all,

I'm currently looking at doing load testing of a web-based application
my company will be developing. It is going to have a large hosted
database and web server, and customers will each have their own
datastore. We want to verify that with large numbers of people
logging in, the system will respond acceptably.

I'm looking at WebLoad by RadView. They have a "community" (open
source) version that looks pretty

- I was able to create a simple
load test in a few minutes, and define the number of virtual
connections, and see the effects of increased load on performance.
Does anyone have experience with WebLoad? I'd love to hear any war
stories before I commit.

Thanks,

Jim

Jim,

We used WebLoad a few years ago - 2002-2004. We were quite
satisified with the features of WebLod. We have also used openSTA
for load testing.

Regards,

Raghu
