Yeah was waiting to see a Jmeter comment. Great tool that, when implemented as part of a larger tool stack, makes performance testing very doable.

And I think it's a pretty stupid simple tool compared to some of the DIY alternatives people are mentioning here.

If you do happen to max out the hosting server you can run Jmeter in a distributed fashion as well.

In the past, I've leveraged JMeter along with other tools at the same time. i.e. Using JMeter to create a baseline level of requests and then using something else to fill in any gaps to make the load feel a little more "real" or to test specific scenarios that were difficult to accomplish w/JMeter.
