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!
