"WAPT: Load, Stress and Performance Testing for Web Sites, Applications and Servers."

WAPT is a load, stress and performance testing tool for websites and web-based applications. In contrast to "800-pound gorilla" load testing tools, WAPT is designed to minimize the learning curve and give the user an ability to create a heavy load from a single regular workstation. You can create a basic test scenario and get meaningful information about your performance landscape in a matter of minutes. WAPT is able to generate up to 3000 simultaneously acting virtual users for an "average" test scenario using standard hardware configuration (Pentium 4 2GHz, 1GB RAM, Gigabit Ethernet). WAPT creates a test workload which is virtually the same as the load experienced by a web site in the real world. Virtual users in each profile are fully customizable. They can have individual IP address (IP spoofing), user name and password, and persistent cookies, to name a few. Basic and Integrated Windows (NTLM) authentication methods are supported. Graphs and reports are shown in real-time at different levels of detail, thus helping to manage the testing process. You don’t need to wait for the completion of the test to get results, so if you have already identified a problem, you can stop the test, fix the problem and start the test again to check for performance changes. The command line interface allows you to integrate WAPT into the existing development environment. Standard XML files are used to store test scenarios and can be modified by third party software.

WAPT Features:

• Accurate simulation of real user activity.
• Different types of users in one test.
• Testing of dynamic web applications.
• Flexible load level definition.
• Testing of HTTPS/SSL content.
• Descriptive test reports and graphs.
• Support of different language encodings.
• Support of all types of proxy servers: HTTP(S), SOCKS4(5).
• Additional command-line interface.
• Scheduled run option to commence testing at a specified time.
• Ability to add custom strings to HTTP headers.
• Support for redirects, including redirects to another server.
