[Benchmarking PHP/MySQL scripts] Looking for a software to measure the load & count the connections to MySQL

[Harry Koh]

I would like to benchmark some scripts by
- measuring the time a page loads
- counting the number of connections to MySQL by page
- ...

So that, i'm looking for a software beside Apache (for PHP) and MySQL.
Some ideas ? (please by email too)

Thank you very much.

Apache on UNIX/Linux comes with a tool named Apache Benchmark or "ab"
for short. Look for it in your apache bin folder. It is great for load
testing considering it is free. If you have the cash, get a copy of
Visual Studio Enterprise Edition; it contains a tool named "Microsoft
Application Center Test". This tool is pretty flexible for load testing
of an application.
