Desktop website performance tool – Apache JMeter

Just a post ago i was wondering about testing my website's performance under heavy load and did this using online tool from LoadImpact. However, the limitation of the free service at LoadImpact.COM is that you can only run a certain amount of tests per specific website a day. Thus i got a thought about good desktop tool, which would allow me for unlimited use.

My Twitter friend @portertech suggested on looking at Apache's JMeter. Sure enough, the tool is complex and Apache's website is full of "non-human" language describing it. Sean had also suggested on visiting FossCasts.COM to learn about the basic use of JMeter - and again thanks to him for that. Now i can run as many tests a day as i want. And FossCasts.COM - definitely worth adding to your favorites.
