Вопрос
My boss wants me to test our web application to demonstrate how much traffic the web site can handle.
The app is a JSF/JPA/Oracle application, everything is running on one rack mounted server at a local hosting company's data centre.
The truth is, we don't know how much traffic it can handle before it gets unresponsive or shuts down altogether.
What would be a good way to pound on the web app from the internet, simulating tonnes of traffic? I was thinking of setting up a number of different Amazon EC2 virtual machines and getting them to pretend to be web visitors, but is there some kind of software I can run on these machines so they behave like lots of web visitors?
Also, it doesn't have to be free, I'd be willing to apy for a solution or a tool.
Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Rob

Did you try setting up Selenium-Grid to run tests in parallel. This will simulate actual user actions on the application and in-turn can stress the app server. You can install a performance monitoring utility on the server to monitor the load generated.
Or you could also use J Meter to simulate multiple users accessing your application. You can talk to your network admin team to route this traffic via internet instead of your local internet.
