AdeleyeLoadTester

Objectives and Goals

• Takes an HTTP address input plus multiple addresses.
• Supports a --qps flag to generate requests at a given fixed QPS
• Reports Latencies and error rates plus latencies and errors of concurrent requests.
• Make a buildable Docker image

Running Example Code

A dockerfile is used to run the generalPurposeHTTPS_LoadTest.py file. This file can be modified to test a single url or multiple as well as save or print results.

1. Testing a single URL
   • This line in the dockerfile:

     CMD python ./generalPurposeHTTP_LoadTest.py --url_link http://httpbin.org/status/400%20%2C200 --qps 10 --n 1000 --c 100
     

     is an example of how to test a single URL with flags for QPS, -n: number of request, and -c: number of concurrent request.
2. Testing multiple URLs
   • This line in the dockerfile:

      CMD python ./generalPurposeHTTP_LoadTest.py --url_csv urllist.csv --qps 10 --n 1000 --c 100
     

     is an example of how to test a multiple URLs. A .csv file is required for this test.
3. Saving results to .txt file
   • The default is to print the results. Using the --s flag however, you can save results to a .txt file.

Once your dockerFile is configured, you can build and run it similarly inside of this cloned repo:

docker build -t fireworksai:app .
docker run -it --rm fireworksai:app

If you choose to use the --s file. Be sure to cp your output file to your local host.

docker build -t fireworksai:app .
docker run --name fireworks fireworksai:app
docker cp fireworks:/usr/src/fireworksapp/outputlog.txt .
docker rm fireworks

Testing/Comparing Code

The file test.py has a base level implementation of a web load testing software called Locus. Apart from this, online websites such as PingDom can be used.
