DeNamiK Releases LoadGen Version 1.2

Tuesday, 02 October 2007 by Michel Roth

DeNamik has just released version 1.2 of their popular loadtest software. In release 1.2 of the DeNamiK LoadGen it's now possible to test your complete infrastructure! From VDI to SMS, Altiris or client-server environments: you can use the DeNamiK LoadGen to load and stress test every Windows based environment available. DeNamiK calls this 'Local Client' loadtesting and it will turn the LoadBots machines into smart load generators. User actions scripts or executables can be started from the LoadBots.

A complete rundown of the new features in LoadGen 1.2:

� Native "Local Client" support, this means you can test any (Windows based) environment
� Improved control of the LoadBots;
� Citrix sessions are created via http only; no more UDP;
� Reporting will now work for RDP and Provision Network loadtests too;
� .Net Framework 1.1, Service Pack 1 is necessary
� Dozens of minor usability improvements & bugfixes
� New product version of the LoadGen: a freeware version, a light version and a pro version. What's in which version is shown in the table below:

Especially the DUAF (DeNamiK User Action Framework) is very impressive: it seriously cuts down on the time needed to create user action scripts for use in your loadtest. I was really impressed with DUAF and will do a Premo in DUAF soon. In the mean time version 1.2 is available for download from the Thincomputing.net Download area..
