Organizations try their best to provide timely information to their users through web applications in order to meet with the competent environment. It is observed that as the users of a particular web application exceed the limits then the applications do not respond. efficiently and the users face delays in order to get the particular service. In the peak load conditions, the web applications do not respond well and if that load goes well. above the expected maximum then the application goes under stress and hence provides poor quality of service (QoS)Various performance testing tools are used to test the performance of the web applications. In this research, two performance testing tools are selected and their performance is compared. Apache JMeter and Microsoft web application stress tool are compared in this research. Moreover, five web sites of public sector universities of Sindh are selected to measure their performance through the said performance testing tools. The results of this research are promising and are use all for the concerned IT staff and people who use these web applications UR - https://tinyurl.com/27tf7v2e ER -
