Significant new features since 0.52:
- much better OO API
- new memory level setting to store only certain information
about each regression run (meant to reduce memory usage)
- customizable Content-type: headers in http requests
(need content type "text/xml" for soap and xml/rpc)
NAME
HTTPD::Bench::ApacheBench - Perl API for Apache
benchmarking and regression testing.
SYNOPSIS
use HTTPD::Bench::ApacheBench;
my $b = HTTPD::Bench::ApacheBench->new;
# global configuration
$b->concurrency(5);
$b->priority("run_priority");
# add HTTP request sequences (aka: runs)
my $run1 = HTTPD::Bench::ApacheBench::Run->new
({ urls => ["http://localhost/one", "http://localhost/two"] });
$b->add_run($run1);
# send HTTP request sequences to server and time responses
my $ro = $b->execute;
# calculate hits/sec
print (1000*$b->total_requests/$b->total_time)." req/sec\n";
GOALS
This project is meant to be the foundation of a complete
benchmarking and regression testing suite for an advanced,
transaction-based mod_perl site. We need to be able to
stress our server to its limit while also having a way to
verify the HTTP responses for correctness. Since our site
is transaction-based (as opposed to content-based), we
needed to extend the single-URL ab model to a multiple-URL
sequence model.
ApacheBench is based on the Apache 1.3.12 ab code
(src/support/ab.c).
