Are there any good (preferably free) tools out there?
Can they give accurate estimates that reflect production results when the app goes live?

Or we can run a single test file by passing the bin/rails test command the filename containing the test cases. This will run all test methods from the test case. You can also run a particular test method from the test case by providing the -n or --name flag and the test's method name.
I would personally go with Apache Bench http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/programs/ab.html
It's free, straight forward to use and lightweight.
If you are looking for a something a little more robust then I think Apache JMeter might be worth looking at. http://jmeter.apache.org/. Again, it's free, a bit of a learning curve and has a GUI so a little heavier.
