Dynamic Load Testing with Webserver Stress Tool

Presented By Ajay Sathuluri

How to do basic, parameterized, and scripted load testing with Paessler's Webserver Stress Tool. It's relatively inexpensive, simple and easy to use. I'll demo setting up a set of URLs, multiple users, URLs bound to a dataset (parameterize the tested URLs), and scripting. In load testing a large codebase, we came across some strange error codes. I'll show you some examples, and some good ways to setup and look at the test results and logs to track down those issues. Also, some other testing tools make it difficult to impossible to simulate multiple simultaneous CF sessions; I'll show you some strategies for how to do that. We will also be using FusionReactor to monitor the server's behavior during the load test; CPU, Memory, request times, stack traces.
