Hello All,

Can someone help me with the following questions?

1. Which is the best tool (free or otherwise) for load testing a cold fusion
application?
2. Is there any tool available which sends out a warning or logs when
coldfusion server utilisation increases to beyond a set limit? Does coldfusion
itself log such data (about its capacity utilisation) anywhere on an ongoing
basis?

Any tips about how to analyse a server crash will also be helpful!

Thanks,
tame_it

Hi Tame_it,

1. For Load Testing you can go for either Microsoft's "Web Application Stress
Tool" (WAST) (or) "OPENSTA" (both are free tools).. Below are the links..

2. And for better server montoring tools you may go for either
http://www.seefusion.com/ or http://www.fusion-reactor.com/home.html both are
commercial tools... But you can download the free demo versions

Hi there,

Furthermore to this topic, if i bought a new server that was fairly good
(processor speed wise etc) by todays standards and had this server dedicated to
running a CFMX7 management system where users would be logging in and out of
sessions frequently, how many users or simultaneous sessions could this server
roughly handle. Any ball-park figure would be great.... Anyone?

Would this depend on the type of database behind the application?

thanks,
mick
