Replaceable load saturation engine #49

Closed X4 closed 12 years ago

Hi,

FunkLoad is a pretty god tool to run functional tests on WebFrameworks, but you can improve the load you create on a web-server, I don't think that you can saturate a server written in C with Python, except you add the feature to run distributed load tests. Or you make your internal load generator replaceable with external tools, like weighttp for example.

Hi,

you are right FunkLoad is not the appropriate tool to saturate a static site, even if it is possible using a distributed mode, ab or siege will be more accurate to measure response above the ms.

The typical FunkLoad use case is to benchmark dynamic pages using a complex scenario. By "dynamic page" I mean page that takes few milliseconds.

Thanks for your feedback I will try to add this information in a FAQ
