PureLoad
PureLoad is a hardware and OS independent load testing tool for internet applications. No scripting or programming is required. No advance training is needed. The software is controlled from a GUI, where test cases and time distributed scenarios can be easily built.
PureLoad works on a protocol level - simulating the traffic generated between the client and server. PureLoad is designed to be independent of the technology used on the server side.
