Hi,

Is there any tool like Grinder tool (Java based), that can help perform  
stress testing and performance testing? Say, if i want to simulate  
10,000 concurrent users?

Regards,

Hi,

I used JMeter to simulate something like what you are asking?  
You can download it from, guess sourceforge or jdeveloper… sites.

Guess it helps,

Cheers,

I have never use Grinder ([http://grinder.sourceforge.net/](http://grinder.sourceforge.net/)).  
I have built my own ruby scripts that do the same thing and deploy  
them to multiple machines. With a little help of scheduler and logger  
I can do the almost same stuff.
