SLAMD is a Java application designed for stress testing and
performance analysis of network-based applications.
Although it was originally designed for benchmarking
directory servers, it is actually very flexible and can be used
to test applications using a wide range of protocols like
LDAP, HTTP, POP, IMAP, and SMTP, and can also interact
with relational databases using JDBC. In addition, it provides
a Java-based API for developing custom workloads, and a
scripting engine and record and playback tools that may also
be used in the load generation process.
