"Apache JMeter may be used to test performance both on static and dynamic resources (files, Servlets, Perl scripts, Java Objects, Data Bases and Queries, FTP Servers and more). It can be used to simulate a heavy load on a server, network or object to test its strength or to analyze overall performance under different load types. You can use it to make a graphical analysis of performance or to test your server/script/object behavior under heavy concurrent load." - Apache Website
Apache JMeter is a great tool, especially since it’s free! It can be used for early performance testing, allowing developers to see early on which of the multitude of options available will perform the best under the load profile that their application will have to withstand.
Equiem can help set up a JMeter environment for your development team and get them over the initial learning curve in a very short time.
JMeter is also capable of performing some quite sophisticated tests. If cost is an issue, Equiem can use JMeter to perform your testing needs. JMeter can often perform the task of its commercial competitors, without the cost. Equiem can advise if this tool would be appropriate, or if you may need the additional power of a tool such as Facilita's Forecast.
