Just a quick note this morning from Sterling Hughes' weblog about a small application that he has written.

Cherry is a little application I wrote which will test your web application for race conditions by performing multiple simultaeneous HTTP connections against a webpage (with specified concurrency and number) and comparing all of the results to see if any of them differ.

I have future plans to make it brilliant, recording the web page contents, allowing for it to match templates as opposed to the entire document, etc. But for now its just a quick two hour hack...

If you want a "simple as it gets" load testing application for your site, then Cherry just might fit the bill. Give it a shot!
