如何对服务器发送的事件进行负载测试

Question

I have a node service that streams data via SSE ( https://www.npmjs.com/package/sse-channel ). I would like to loadtest this service my making 'n' concurrent connections, i tried the "loadtest" npm module but since we are dealing with streaming responses i was not able to report back any data like requests per second, mean latency etc… when the streaming requests are made, is there a way to use "loadtest" module for streaming services if not can someone point me to the module that would report back status while making concurrent streaming requests.

Answer 1

Gatling ( http://gatling.io/#/ ) has support for SSE ( http://gatling.io/docs/2.2.2/http/sse.html ). It's not in js, it's Scala. But, it's quite simple to write a scenario that targets a SSE server.
