LoadWise

LoadWise is a simple and affordable load testing tool. Different from conventional load testing tools, which mostly work on HTPP parameter levels, LoadWise test scripts can reuse existing functional test scripts, which make them are easy to read and maintain.

LoadWise IDE development is currently on hold, due to three reasons:

1. JSSH no longer supported with Firefox 4. One of highlight feature of LoadWise is previewing load tests (in Firefox)
2. Emergency of webdriver-selenium. We might consider changing the architecture to WebDriver.
3. We are actively working on BuildWise, an easy-to-use continuous build server, users can configure a full build to implementing some sorts of load testing.

You can still download LoadWise Runtime (JRubyShell) and use it for free, if you want to just to find out how your server responding requests from dozens of users, then JRubyShell might just enough.
