Monitoring and Tuning Your Server

Web Application Stress Tool and WCAT

Included on the Resource Kit companion CD, both of these tools are intended for stress testing, and are superficially equivalent. But you’ll find that they differ in some areas, and you are likely to prefer one or the other for a particular testing task. Although WCAT will not be discussed in this section, both tools have documentation on the CD. Additional topics in this section also include a tutorial on the Web Application Stress Tool.
