Review: WAPT


WAPT is a load, stress and performance testing tool for web sites and applications with web interfaces. The product is designed to produce the maximum possible load on the web site under examination. At the same time it uses various techniques to make this load as similar as possible to the activity of real users browsing the web site in real life. This approach guarantees that if the tests are passed, the web site will show same performance characteristics in everyday usage.

WAPT is designed by SoftLogica and is a windows based tool and has a starting price of $350 (one time). I like the you can simulate thousands of users on your website as well as its ability to test different user interactions. WAPT also comes with in-depth reporting which can be viewed in both HTML and Excel formats.
