基于Perl的HTTP协议GUI测试程序

This is OpenLoad, a tool for load testing web applications
(http://openload.sourceforge.net)

OpenLoad is released under GNU GPL v. 2

What is OpenLoad?
=================

OpenLoad is a tool for load testing web applications. It aims to be easy to
use and providing near real-time performance measurements of the application
under test. This is particulary useful when you are doing optimization as
you can see the impact of your changes almost immediately.

Building OpenLoad
=================

- Linux
Please see the INSTALL file

- Win32
Run the make-win32.bat file, which will compile the Debug version
(src/Debug/openload.exe). Alternatively you can open the workspace
(openload.dsw) in the VisualC IDE and build from there.

How do I use it?
================

OpenLoad is (currently) a commandline tool, that you execute from a
prompt like this:

 openload http://testapp.site.com 10

The 2 parameters are:

 * The url of the web page you want to test.
 * Number of simultanous clients to simulate. This is optional and
   defaults to 5

You will then get output similar to this:

 $ openload localhost 10
 URL: http://localhost:80/
 Clients: 10
 MaTps 355.11, Tps 355.11, Resp Time  0.015, Err   0%, Count   511
 MaTps 339.50, Tps 199.00, Resp Time  0.051, Err   0%, Count   711
 MaTps 343.72, Tps 381.68, Resp Time  0.032, Err   0%, Count  1111
 MaTps 382.04, Tps 727.00, Resp Time  0.020, Err   0%, Count  1838
 MaTps 398.54, Tps 547.00, Resp Time  0.018, Err   0%, Count  2385
 MaTps 425.78, Tps 670.90, Resp Time  0.014, Err   0%, Count  3072
 
 Total TPS: 452.90
 Avg. Response time:  0.021 sec.
 Max Response time:   0.769 sec

Where:

 * MaTps: a 20 second moving average of Tps.
 * Tps: (Transactions Per Second) is the number of completed requests
   during that second.
 * Resp Time: the average response time in seconds for the elapsed
   second.
 * Err: the percentage of responses that was erronous, i.e. didn't
   return a HTTP 200 Ok staus.
 * Count: the total number of completed requests.
 * Total TPS: the average TPS for the whole run, i.e. (Total completed
   requests) / (Total elapsed time).
 * Avg. Response time: the overall average response time in seconds.
 * Max Response time: the highest response time during this run.

Note: you stop the run by pressing Enter.
