Stress-Testing your server

At the project i’m currently working on we do a lot of testing. Turns out we didn’t know if one of our servers was able to perform under high circumstances and we wanted to perform a stress test.

One of our testers introduced me to Apaches JMeter. What i like a lot is the ability to record a test. It also allows you to test a lot of different protocols, HTTP, HTTPS, SOAP, Database via JDBC, LDAP, JMS, POP3(S) and IMAP(S) to name just a few.

Make sure you check it out if you want to know how your application will perform with more than 10000 users at the same time!

Handy little snippet: System.setClipboard()

Just so I don’t forget this: A little snippet to copy text from a textField to the clipboard.

System.setClipboard(myTextFieldInstance.text);

Funky TAX Calculator

A really long time ago, i created my ‘Funky TAX Calc’ and later on updated it. Now its better than ever ;)

What is it? Its a calculator that calculates the amount of tax for you. I was tired of doing all my invoices by hand so I created this.

Whats new?

  • Revamped U.I.
  • You can adjust the percentage of TAX (or VAT or BTW) through an XML file in the installer directory.
  • Copy every output value seperately to the clipboard with one click!

You can download here or from Adobe’s AIR Marketplace.

And ofcourse is this version also secured :)

In this version you can also adjust the TAX value. In the install directory is an folder called external; in there is an XML file called config.xml that you can edit. Default is the value set to 1.19 ( or 19 percent ).
On windows the install directory is:
C:\Program Files\Funky TAX Calculator\external\config.xml
On a Mac this is:
/Users/Applications/Funky TAX Calculator -> open package, folder external\config.xml
Then you can change the TAX amount to anything you want.

Have fun with it, any questions in the comments or mail me :)
