I’m developing an asp.net web application targeted to business customers. Can anyone provide some guidelines on how I can determine the number of users my application can support?
Also, the application uses session variables so its currently limited to one web server until that changes.
You can use a session state server running on a second box or sql server backed sessions to get around the single box issue.
As for the question at hand, there is no real way to determine that besides getting your hands on production hardware, setting up the app and running load tests until you can figure out where she breaks. This won’t necessarily give you the real number as you have to make assumptions about what the users are doing and it is pretty much impossible to simulate the effects of the network cloud in test environments.
