Question

I have to write python script to perform load test for thttpd server. i need to test like "wat happens if 500 users accesing the server at a time" . i'm in need of some input to implement this..

Answer 1

Check Locust.io . We have our tests in Python and it just made sense to go with it. It rather simple but gets the job done writing only python.

There's a great chart of python load testing frameworks available at

Answer 3

我想看看使用Multi-Mechanize，因为它允许你用Python进行负载测试，非常好！
