... h1. Introduction
The [SLAMD Distributed Load Generation Engine | http://slamd2.dev.java.net] (SLAMD) is a Java application designed for stress testing and performance analysis of network-based applications. Although it was originally designed for benchmarking directory servers, it is actually very flexible and can be used to test applications using a wide range of protocols like like LDAP, HTTP, POP, IMAP, and SMTP, and can also interact with relational databases using JDBC. In addition, SLAMD provides a Java-based API for developing your own custom workloads, and a scripting engine and record and playback tools that may also be used in the load generation process.

Development is currently ongoing for a version tentatively called SLAMD3. This version will be a departure from SLAMD2 from an internals perspective - the software architecture architecture is being changed to embrace the Model-View-Controller architecture using Apache Struts2.
