Hi, this will likely depend on how much resources you can throw at your performance test tools.
JMeter for instance can work in master/slave mode. So the overall count of simulated users will depend on how much threads your operating system will make available to the jvm running jmeter (of course depending on your test cases) times the hardware you can spend on your tests. You also want to take into to account the network resources available to you as a limiting factor for your tests. regards Dirk -------- Original-Nachricht -------- > Datum: Wed, 14 May 2008 16:47:39 -0400 > Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > An: "Tomcat Users List" <users@tomcat.apache.org> > Betreff: Testing performance and scalability > We are developing a website that will likely be hit by up to half a > million users. > > Our first concern is obviously performance and scalability, but am > wondering how best to test this?
