I need a book to recommend strategies for load-testing an ASP.NET application with SQL Server backend.
Some info that may be useful:
- how to write a load test plan
- what perfmon counters to use and
typical threshold values - finding bottlenecks
- various load testing tools
Microsoft has a Patterns & Practice book called “Performance Testing Guidance for Web Applications”
I haven’t read it, but I’ve skimmed through it, and it looks like something that you or others would find beneficial. Plus, it’s free.
