That’s what load/stress testing is all about, and there are a number of great tools to help you do it. A proprietary tool called WAPT was previously reviewed here at Builder.com. But I’m an open source kinda guy and always prefer to use tools that are freely available. One of the most prevalent and well-maintained open source tools for stress testing is aptly called Siege.
