Hi,

I need to load test a client-server application which uses .NET Remoting
TCP/IP with
binary formatter as the communication medium between client and server. The
server
has Server Activated Objects in single call mode. This server would have
multiple clients
connecting to it

The goal of the load test is to determine how scalable the server is and not
the client app
so to say. How can this be achieved ? Which tools provide these features ???

Most of the tools like WAS and ACT support only web apps.
Please advice.

Regards,
Vikram

As far as I know, you have to build it yourself.

We use the managed thread pool class available on
GotDotNet site (by Stephen Toub) to create a basic client
app and access the remote component using multiple
threads. Its pretty easy and simple to code up but, as
mentioned before, you would have to do it yourself.

You could use tools like Rational Robot or, Winrunner etc.

Or if you wanna go real cheap, you could write a simple WSH script to script
your applications and run it in a loop 10,000 times.
