Can anyone please recommend any good Load Testing software?
I have a website which updates scores every minute via ajax calls and need a load testing software which supports ajax calls (javascript) too!
This is a pretty broad question that depends greatly on exactly what you want to test and how you define “good” software. Many people will say you can’t load test AJAX based sites using HTTP-simulation tools. We do it every day, so I can tell you that isn’t true. However, the difficulty of the task varies greatly depending on the testing software you choose and the complexity of the site and scenarios you are testing.
My recommendation is to pick a few tools within your price range and evaluate how well they work for your particular scenario. If they have good support, you should contact them with any difficulties. If they can’t get you going in short order, move on to the next product.
(Disclaimer: I work for Web Performance – our Load Tester product handles most AJAX scenarios just fine – which may be why we’re on the first google page for “ajax load testing”).
