Rails App / webserver基准测试

Question

Does anyone know the best lightweight Rails benchmarking tool?

I need to get performance statistics of the webserver and simulate authentication + page navigation per session. I've been trying to use httperf, but been encountering TamperingWithCookie exception in the application.

Ideally, I'd like to separate the application and database from the webserver benchmarking, but interested to see the results of the combination of these.

Answer 1

You can try Tsung , a distributed load testing tool written in Erlang. It's a general tool but can be easily used with Rails applications. In case you need to simulate different user behavior scenarios as a kind of integration tests, you could also try Webrat .

Answer 2

ruby-prof works well either by you manually hitting your app with a browser, or it can benchmark against tests.

here's a great writeup on how to use it: http://cfis.savagexi.com/2007/07/18/making-rails-go-vroom

and here's where you can download it: http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruby-prof/

Answer 3

ab is an Apache tool for benchmarking. Probably won't take care of authentication for you but is dead-simple to use:

ab -n 300 -c 20 http://website.com

Answer 4

这不是最好的方法，但使用像MS WAS这样的网络压力工具过去曾用过简单的基准测试。
