Performance testing tool: OpenSTA
OpenSTA is an Open Source performance testing tool. It is the leading freeware testing tool available for performance testing. It is built on a distributed software testing architecture based on CORBA. OpenSTA is designed to be used by performance testing consultants or other technically proficient individuals. Using OpenSTA a user can generate realistic heavy loads simulating the activity of hundreds to thousands of virtual users.OpenSTA graphs both virtual user response times and resource utilisation information from all web servers, application servers, database servers and operating platforms under test, so that precise performance measurements can be gathered during load tests and analysis on these measurements can be performed.
