Load Testing Toolkit

“I have enough trouble with useful information, never mind being burdened with what is useless.”
― Erlend Loe, Naïve. Super

Collection of open-source tools for debugging, benchmarking, load and stress testing your code or services.

NOTE: Unfortunately I've found this original awesome collection too late: awesome-http-benchmark.
Feel free to follow and contribute to it instead of this collection, which remains my personal variation and working copy.
