This study evaluates common load testing tools with focus on AJAX based web applications, including JSF ViewState and WebSockets as special cases. Load tests are created and executed using an internal application provided by the collaborating company NovaTec GmbH. The evaluation focuses on the efficient creation and maintainance of workload specifications, which is of great importance when employing load tests in larger projects. Eight tools have been tested and recommendations are given for different use cases at the end of the paper.
