Help with Stress Testing

[ESmith]

I need to stress test an application I've developed - are there any
libraries/classes that can do things such as limit RAM available, Disk
Space, etc. to help determine the system limits? Since I'm developing on a
higher end system, I hope that there are either commerical or free utilities
/ libraries that can assist in "breaking" the application.

TIA

Hello ESmith,

You need "Fault Injector" tools. there are few of them
I used DevPartner Fault Simulator http://www.compuware.com/products/devpartner/5094_ENG_HTML.htm

btw, that is not stress testing, stress testing is when u load your all to
the maximum and check how it handler all that request.
