General Benchmarking Tools

Apache JMeter: To test performance on static and dynamic resources (files, Servlets, Perl scripts, Java Objects, Data Bases and Queries, FTP Servers and more).
Gatling: Gatling is a highly capable load testing tool. It is designed for ease of use, maintainability and high performance.
Tsung: Open-source multi-protocol distributed load testing tool.
Slamd Java-based Distributed Load Generation Engine application designed for stress testing and performance analysis of network-based applications.
Grinder A Java load testing framework that makes it easy to run a distributed test using many load injector machines.
mysqlslap mysqlslap is a diagnostic program designed to emulate client load for a MySQL server and to report the timing of each stage. It works as if multiple clients are accessing the server.
