Ants Profiler ANTS Profiler identifies performance bottlenecks in applications written in any of the languages available on the .NET Framework. During the performance profiling ANTS Profiler records the frequency and time it takes for each line of code to be executed as you are using your application. Detailed results will then reveal the slowest lines of code and methods allowing you to quickly identify performance bottlenecks and optimize your .NET application accordingly. http://help.red-gate.com/help/ANTSProfiler3/0/en/Topics/AP_UsingANTSProfiler.html Application Center Test(ACT tool) ACT is a software-based stress testing tool that applies load to Web servers so that you can capture performance metrics analyze and diagnose performance problems and make capacity decisions about your Web applications. You apply load to a Web application using ACT by recording or manually creating a test script which simulates many simultaneous browser connections requesting pages defined by a user scenario. http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-3513_11-6046194.html http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/Application_Center_Test.aspx Mercury Loadrunner HP LoadRunner can help you prevent costly performance problems in production by detecting bottlenecks before a new system or upgrade is deployed. This software enables you to measure end-to-end performance diagnose application and system bottlenecks and tune for better performance—all from a single point of control. This helps reduce the costs and time required to test and deploy new applications and systems into your production environment. http://www.wilsonmar.com/1lrscript.htm http://www.wilsonmar.com/1loadrun.htm https://h10078.www1.hp.com/cda/hpdc/display/main/download_p df_unprotected. jsp?zn=bto&cp=54_4000_100
