Microsoft Web Application Stress Tool (WAS)

Microsoft Web Application Stress Tool (WAS) tool is designed to realistically simulate multiple browsers requesting pages from a web site.

You can use this tool to gather performance and stability information about your web application. This tool simulates a large number of requests with a relatively small number of client machines. The goal is to create an environment that is as close to production as possible so that you can find and eliminate problems in the web application prior to deployment.
