Distributed Loadtest Multiple URLs #35

Closed sharadgana closed 13 years ago

sharadgana commented 13 years ago

What is the best way to loadtest a site with mutliple URLS ( ~10000 urls) in a distributed fashion ? I was thinking of writing a Loadtest Case that opens the file ( file containing the urls) and randomly choosing a URL. Is this a suggested way ?

Hi,

yes taking random urls from a file will work, You can put somethink like this in your setUp to get a list of urls:

import os
from random import randint

def get_random_lines(filename, nb_line):
    """Return a list of lines randomly taken from filename"""
    fd = open(filename, "r")
    filesize = os.stat(filename)[6]
    ret = []
    for i in range(nb_line):
        pos = max(randint(0, filesize - 40), 0)
        fd.seek(pos)
        fd.readline() # skip line
        ret.append(fd.readline().strip())
    return ret

Hi,

Does the file containing the urls need to be present on all the loadtesting servers or one the master server ? IIUC, the master controller server ships the virtualenv to the loadtesting servers, so does the URL file also gets shipped along .

Hi, Yes the content of the test directory is duplicated over each node.
