Stress test a web application in IIS

I recently noticed some performance issues with my ASP.NET Webforms application when it got some heavy load and i wanted to test it on a dev server with some heavy load. After loads of shitty Java and Python apps that required X number of strange frameworks and stuff i finally found the dream tool.

The WCAT Fiddler Extension was exactly what i was looking for.

  • It uses WCAT that is designed to test IIS.
  • It use fiddler to record a test script.
  • You don’t have to install Java, Python or any other framework.
  • Everything is GUI based.

I really recommend you to check out this tool. You can read more about how it works on the Fiddler and the WCAT extension page.
