Addanc is a distributed, scalable system for stress- or load-testing Web applications. Addanc is most useful for testing complex systems consisting of multiple "moving parts" with a web GUI.
Addanc focuses on the arrival rate of ”service requests”, rather than generating a server load based on a fixed number of clients. Addanc clients arrive at a specific rate and execute a set of HTTP/HTTPS GET and/or POST transactions representing the “service request.”
Here are some key features of "Addanc":
· Definable arrival rates
· Unlimited number of clients
