The Art of Application Performance Testing

Appendix C. Automated Tool Vendors

This appendix provides a list of the leading automated tool vendors. I have also included entries for popular free tools where appropriate. The tool vendor market is fairly dynamic, but the list contains vendors who have the lion’s share at the time of this writing. The list is in no particular order. For each section I have listed the tool vendor and web site followed by the product name and (where appropriate) a link for more information.
