Abstract
Recent years have brought the rise of importance of quality of developed software. Web applications should be functional, user friendly as also efficient. There are many tools available on the market for testing the performance of web applications. To help you choose the right tool, the article compares three of them: Apache JMeter, LoadNinja and Gatling. They were analyzed in terms of a user-friendly interface, parameterization of the requests and creation of own testing scripts. The research was carried out using a specially prepared application.
