Webserver Stress Tool is a powerful HTTP-client/server test application designed to pinpoint critical performance issues in business websites or web server that may prevent optimal experience for site's visitors.

By simulating the HTTP requests generated by hundreds or even thousands of simultaneous users, IT administrators can test their web server's performance under normal and excessive loads to ensure that critical information and services are available at speeds the end-users expect.

Using Webserver Stress Tool when developing and running websites allows business to:

• Resolve performance critical issues in your webserver before they bring down their website.
• Ensure websites and applications utilise the server resources they need when they need to guarantee a high quality user experience.
• Maximise the investment in webserver technology through consistent and in-depth testing and analysis.

Detailed test logs and several easy to read graphs make analysing results a snap. Webserver Stress Tool for Windows (7/Vista/2003/XP/2000) can benchmark almost any HTTP server (e.g. static pages, JSPs/ASPs, or CGIs) for performance, load, and stress-tests.
