Load Testing

I came across a nice looking load/performance testing tool called loadUI today.

The Java site had a profile about it as an example of a Real-world JavaFX App:

I've only had a brief play with it so far and while it seems very slick I think I will stick with JMeter for its support of multi-page tests.

Tomcat configuration

Sorry for the lack of content in this post, but I sometimes use this blog as a bookmark/reminder for myself.

Here are a couple of blog posts from one of the maintainers of Tomcat.

I found it reassuring to see the load testing tools that Mark uses matched up with what I had been using a few months back.
