Appendix C. Performance and Testing Tool Vendors

This appendix provides a list of the leading automated tool vendors for performance testing and related disciplines. I have also included entries for popular open source tools where appropriate. The tool vendor market remains dynamic, with a number of new entries since 2009. Many performance testing tool vendors now provide support for mobile testing either on-premise or as a SaaS offering, and the majority provide support for cloud-based load injection. The list is in no particular order and is not intended to be exhaustive. For each section, I have listed the tool vendor followed by the product name and (where appropriate) a link for more information.
