stress testing and search engine submiti

I haven't had a chance to test it yet, but one of the tech guys from our router vendor suggested IP stressor, a product by Ganymeade:

He said it is one of the best he's used. As soon as I geta chance to test it, I'll post again, but who knows when that will be...

I've used SilkPerformer from Segue. It's been able to handle all the complex scenarios we've wanted. Unfortuantely, it's EXPENSIVE. At the same time we also looked at MercuryInteractive's LoadRunner. It was capable for web/browser-style testing,but at that time it didn't have support for more complicated CORBA-related processes. It might have changed since 18 months ago. The Segue product has met our needs. I'd give it a "low B" on reliability and a "high C" on support, keeping in mind that 1) there aren't many products as robust; 2) You should know that I might give an "A" for walking on water from California to Hawaii, (i.e. "C" would mean average)

Mercury Inetractive's LoadRunner is a good product for load testing yet somewhat costly. For a free utility use Microsoft's Homer (www.homer.rte.microsoft.com) or search there web site for there WCAT utility.
