Stress Testing a website?

[davetherave2]

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone can recommend some good stress/load testing software.solutions for asp.net websites?

After recent experiences with a website that worked all through development testing and User testing when the site when live the system started to timeout, so in order to prevent this in future I would like to stress test it and make the appropriate changes/improvements before something else like this happens again.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the answers I will take a look into them and see if any really fit what we need. Testing at this level is something I have always wanted to do but just haven't had the need/ time to do properly.

I just need to add it onto the list of things I am currently learning/reviewing. (Trying to bring my dev skills a bit more up to date given our dev team at work is now very much MVC focused so I feel a lot out of touch as the old webforms/winforms developer. Although have been picking up MVC here and there while working on some demo projects)
