Most of the following are PDF files to download. They provide various perspectives on load testing. Some of these offer good examples or templates that you may want to use as a staring point for aspects of your own load testing.

While LoadStorm cannot recommend any particular point of view on load testing, we want to provide as much FREE assistance as possible to anyone needing to learn more about load and performance testing - especially for web applications. Some of these downloads are current, some are older, some are general, some are very specific to a particular technology, some require registration, some require agreeing to terms, and some are more useful than others. None are exhaustive nor perfect, and none should cost money.

We offer these as resources we have found on the web, and we have found a few things interesting in each one.
