The Grinder is a JavaTM load testing framework that makes it easy to run a distributed test using many load injector machines. It is freely available under a BSD-style open-source license.
The latest news, downloads, and mailing list archives can be found on SourceForge.net.
Key features
* Generic Approach Load test anything that has a Java API. This includes common cases such as HTTP web servers, SOAP and REST web services, and application servers (CORBA, RMI, JMS, EJBs), as well as custom protocols.
* Flexible Scripting Tests are written in the powerful Jython scripting language.
* Distributed Framework A graphical console allows multiple load injectors to be monitored and controlled, and provides centralised script editing and distribution.
* Mature HTTP Support Automatic management of client connections and cookies. SSL. Proxy aware. Connection throttling. Sophisticated record and replay of the interaction between a browser and a web site.

Ripplet is a powerful,high available,flexible,collaborative load/stress test tool. It aims at providing an environment where users are able to do the tasks as follows :
* illustrate test design and outline load description clearly
* control realistic performance load efficiently, both on logic and data flow
* diagnose performance spikes and bottlenecks easily
* evaluate system capacity quickly and correctly
* share achievements for developers or customers, not only reports but test plan for product enviroment stage evaluation
Use it, extend it, just making your load test fruitful, your production stable. Hopefully, it's pretty much everything you seek in load test and it's beyond your expectation.
