Comments on: New Web Load Testing Service http://w-shadow.com/blog/2009/02/22/web-load-testing/ Slightly Advanced Computer Stuff (and some magic) Sat, 21 Nov 2009 04:22:17 +0200 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Jonas Hagstedt http://w-shadow.com/blog/2009/02/22/web-load-testing/comment-page-1/#comment-30868 Jonas Hagstedt Fri, 17 Jul 2009 16:56:14 +0000 http://w-shadow.com/?p=932#comment-30868 I have used LoadImpact to test our website and it was very efficient. I used the paid service to be able to ramp up the user acount over 50. We were looking for tools to load test the website and when we came across loadimpact we gave the free trial a go and it worked a charm. Later on we paid for the server and ran the tests. It's great to be able to test your live environment before you do any large PR campaigns etc, and it's cheaper to pay for the one time use rather than purchasing a tool (however, in the long run it would probably be expensive to keep using LoadImpact). I had some issues with the tool at first but they have a support forum (I think they are quite new) and when I emailed them about my issue they actually gave me an aditional days usage and that's good service!

Your no BS no fluff blog is impressive and you have a bloggie(should rhyme with groupie) here. Came across your blog while searching for facebook apps and spent more than a hour here.
