WebLOAD provides a comprehensive and robust environment for load testing. This includes a full authoring environment for recording, editing and debugging test scripts, a highly efficient execution environment for defining load parameters (virtual users), running and monitoring the tests as well as reporting tools for analyzing and presenting test results.
The WebLOAD environment includes several components out of which currently only the Load Generator component (the engine that generates the actual load) is offered as an open source component. All other components are temporarily only offered as free binaries. It is in the WebLOAD.org roadmap to replace these components with new fully open source versions.
