Using WCAT to Simulate ISAPI and CGI Applications

Even if you do not have any available ISAPI or CGI applications, you can still test the effect of such applications on your server configuration by using WCAT. WCAT comes with several prepared tests designed for simulating the effects of CGI and ISAPI applications on your server. The following table lists these tests and provides a brief explanation of each test.
