Comment by Sébastien Portebois on "Can you recommend some stress testing tools to test my server config?"

j already mentioned siege, which is is really great and is my go-to tool for small tests (ie a great replacement to Apache ab tool)

As soon as the scenario becomes more complex, I'd turn my head to (in that order):

artillery (which has the same useage philosophy as Tsung, but is easier to extend because NodeJs is easier than Erlang, which I never took the time to learn)
locust if you prefer Python
Gatling if you prefer scala
Tsung is you need hi perf but don't need to customize anything

There are many others, but these are the most common ones you're likely to find if you google for feedback and comparaisons.

Then you have hosted services to run load-tests, which I haven'T used enough to give any opinions.
