Load Testing
We recommend to use Tsung as a feature-rich & high-performing tool.
Testing should normally be done from a separate machine. Amazon is great as a platform for accessing a lof of resources for a short period of time.
- A 'Micro' instance is sufficient for testing 100 concurrent users (the dynamic parts of the site)
- A 'High CPU' instance is required for testing 6,500 concurrent users (the static parts of the site)
Server Setup
Tsung can include results on Server Load if SNMP is enabled:
apt-get install -y snmpd vim /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf #agentAddress udp:127.0.0.1:161 agentAddress udp:161,udp6:[::1]:161 #rocommunity public default -V systemonly rocommunity public 0.0.0.0/0 /etc/init.d/snmpd restart
Notes:
- Log files can fill-up quickly, especially when testing a large number of users for the static parts of the site
- Database will need resetting to clear any transactions made
- Reboot between tests to reset the RAM/Swap
Client Setup
Installation
apt-get install -y erlang gnuplot libtemplate-perl make lrzsz vim wget http://tsung.erlang-projects.org/dist/tsung-1.4.1.tar.gz tar zxvf tsung-1.4.1.tar.gz cd tsung-1.4.1 ./configure make make install ssh localhost yes to accept hostkey exit
Static Tests
It is recommended to make the homepage of the site static. The performance of this page can be tested using ~/.tsung/tsung.xml

Dynamic Tests
A set of transactions can be performed with an increasing level of load ~/.tsung/tsung.xml
