How to generate a fake load on linux server for testing oracle R12 application

Question

I want to know how to generate a fake load on linux server for testing purpose.

We have to get a new server. Before finalizing it we have to test it by generating a fake load so that it can fulfill our future needs.

Is there any software or utility for this purpose.

Thank You

regards

would help if you told what exactly you want to load-test. is it a web app? ot the oracle itself?

one of the best commercial products is Silkperformer

also take a look at JMeter, it's free and let's you test the following:

	Thank You for your prompt reply. I want to test the load on oracle application and on database both. – Muahmmad Zeeshan Feb 15 '10 at 13:47
	cool, try JMeter then, it's quite nice and free as well :) allows you to write some tests using jdbc (so you can test any DB in fact, not only oracle) and also acts as a simplistic webbrowser, so you can test your application as well. – rytis Feb 15 '10 at 13:57
