Web Capacity Analysis Tool (WCAT), found on the Resource Kit companion CD, allows you to stress test the Web server by sending multiple client requests to simulate load on the servers.
The Web Application Stress Tool, found on the Resource Kit companion CD, is designed to realistically simulate multiple browsers requesting pages from a Web application. It covers the features most needed for stress testing three-tier personalized Active Server Page Web sites running on Microsoft® Windows NT® Server 4.0 and Windows 2000 Server.
The HTTP Monitoring Tool, found on the Resource Kit companion CD, monitors HTTP activity on the server.
The IIS 5.0 debugger component, which is built into IIS 5.0, can be used for debugging applications.
