Web Test tools

A process alone would probably struggle to handle concurrent 32K TCP-streams.
For web applications, a ratio of 1:100 registered users is common i.e.


Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate
Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2008 Test Edition
MICROSOFT WEB APPLICATION STRESS TOOL

Web Capacity Analysis Tool (WCAT)
A free Fiddler extension for load testing called StresStimulus. It replays sessions recorded in Fiddler under varied load levels and measures performance metrics. It is not nearly as complete as testing tools in Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate, but satisfies some of your requirements. You can get requests per/s and response times.

ApacheBench is a command line computer program for measuring the performance of HTTP web servers, in particular the Apache HTTP Server. It was designed to give an idea of the performance that a given Apache installation can provide. In particular, it shows how many requests per

More complex tools such as JMeter.
Besides JMeter you can try Selenium to test web applications. If you use Selenium you show also check Selenium Inspector which is build on top of it and provides convenient assertion methods. Online service BrowserMob offers cloud based load testing based on selenium. 
soapUI, for anything to do with testing web services. They do have load testing features in the Professional edition (I haven't used these yet). In addition, they've just entered beta with a loadUI product. If it's anywhere near as good as the parent product, then it's worth a hard look.

15 Free Functionality And Load Testing Tools For Web Applications

Automated web application testing is done very rarely & it is generally thought as an unnecessary + hard to setup system.

Magnify GlassTruth is, automated testing is a must, because it saves so much time during development & when the project is live. Also, with the right tools, it is generally very easy to setup.

Using testing tools, once the scenarios are created, you can:

•     test every feature of the whole application with a click
•     get written reports instantly with the error logs
•     measure the capacity of your web application on every step
•     get a continiously-watched, less-problematic web application as the result

There are 2 important web application tests to measure if everything is working (and will work) on your website:

• Functionality testing: using record-playbacks or scripting, a tool can browse your website, fill forms, click on the links you want & generate a report for you
• Load/stress testing: even if a web application is working ok with 1 or 10 users, it can show totally different attitudes (like bottlenecks in resource usage) when there are 100 or 1000 active users.

So, here is a collection of 15 Free Functionality And Load Testing Solutions For Web Applications to create better online experiences:
