title: Tools for website/web application load testing?
body: <p>Before going into production, our client demands actual numbers of <strong>how many users our web application can handle</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>We have all kinds of features implemented including asset management (file uploads/downloads), documents import/export, various statistics, web-services etc.</p>
  
  <p>I guess we need tool which could emulate users form submission because documents import/export as far as I noticed is the slowest part of an app because of parsing and generation.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Which tool (or set of tools) could do this?</strong></p>
  
  <p>Application details:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>XHTML/jQuery</li>
  <li>Coldfusion 8</li>
  <li>SQL Server 2008</li>
  <li>Windows Server 2008</li>
  </ul>
