title: Quick and dirty performance testing of web services - what are my options?
body: <p>I have some simple web services, retrieving information from a database and storing info in a database, written in C#, using IIS. My boss has asked that my boss I compile a very quick report on the performance of these web services for tomorrow. As an intern with no experience of this, I am wondering what are my options here ? I have roughly 2 hours to spend testing this.</p>
  
  <p>What I have done : </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Created 2 simple web tests with simple use case flows. </li>
  <li>Created a load test using a step-load pattern which shows when the
  application breaks (how many concurrent users results in errors/queries not being returned).</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>What other important metrics are their to report on ? What are my other options for testing performance here that would be quick, dirty, and most effective ?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks a lot</p>
