Hi Jennifer, There are two vendors that make products that do load testing in the Citrix environment. Both products include the ability to create synthetic users via scripts and then gather voluminous amounts of performance statistics. Mercury Interactive makes LoadRunner for Citrix: http://www-heva.mercuryinteractive.com/products/loadrunner/load_testing_ monitors/citrix_metaframe.html Scapa Technologies makes Scapa StressTest for Citrix: http://www.scapatech.com/products_services/product_features2.html Once you have determined how many users you can get with these tools, you can increase that number by 33% by deploying our product, TScale on your server. You can get a free evaluation download of TScale here: http://www.rtosoft.com/pages/evaluate_ts.html If I may be of any assistance you are welcome to contact me directly by phone or email. Best Regards, Bernd Harzog CEO RTO Software 678-455-5506 x701 bernd@xxxxxxxxxxx www.rtosoft.com -----Original Message----- From: Henske, Jennifer [mailto:Jennifer.Henske@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]=20 Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2003 9:52 AM To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [THIN] Best tool for application load testing Looking for opinions on the tools available.
