Load Testing

Nobody's Hero — Tue, 27 Sep 2005 13:36:40 GMT

I am testing an RX7620 Itanium Server for a proof of concept running Oracle and PeopleSoft.

I need to push this system, simulate users pounding the box so we can get some benchmarks.

Is there any software available that pushes the box, simulates users to get benchmarking?

Hi,

Use Apache benchmark tool "ab". This tool comes with the apache. Using this tool, u can simulate number of users & number of concurrent query to the database using php script.

Thanks.
