SeaToad is a library to aid in concurrency and load testing of .NET code. Intended for use by developers or automation testers.

For example, it makes a good second hand if you're trying to reproduce a concurrency issue. You can very quickly generate load representing one or more portions of the suspect code, while manually performing other tasks.

Or perhaps you're worried about the performance of a particular stored procedure with load from an external source. SeaToad can run the stored procedure and the external load for you to locate performance and concurrency bottlenecks.

Features

  • Compatible with unit testing frameworks such as NUnit and MSBuild
  • Configurable thread ramp up time
  • Quickly build scenarios because actual instances of your classes are used. Often it’s as simple as implementing the interfaces on an existing class
  • High precision via use of Stopwatch instead of DateTime for measuring performance (DateTime is limited to ~10ms)
  • Because work items are instances of classes, each work task can be unique and contain unique properties
  • Work instances are evenly distributed among all available threads (ensuring that each is executed as often as the others)
  • Supports as many concurrent threads as the system can handle
  • Separate “Setup” and “Teardown” methods isolate performance metrics where you want it

A low-code dashboard makes monitoring intuitive for any admin, while scripting and custom sensors give experts full control.

You shouldn't have to choose between a monitoring tool that's easy to use and one that's powerful enough for a complex environment. PRTG's low-code interface lets any admin build dashboards, set alerts and monitor devices without scripting, while custom sensors and full API access are there when your team needs deeper control. One platform, no compromise. Download a free 30-day trial now.
