AIOload

https://blog.mogollon.com.ve/2020/01/10/load-testing-with-python/

Load test tool using aiosonic http client. For drawing charts we use matplotlib and pandas.

Usage of uvloop is highly recommended.

Requirements

• python>=3.6

Installation

pip install aioload
# optional, highly recommended, doesn't work on Windows
pip install uvloop

Usage

you need to specify your request in a settings file like config.ini

[http]
sock_read = 30
sock_connect = 3


[test]
# target url for test
url = http://localhost:8080/api/v1/something
# methods: get, post, put, delete
method = post
#
# use body for send body in request
# if body is json, indicate correct header in headers section
# comment body line if you're doing a get request
body = '{"foo": "bar"}'

# query params if needed, this will transform url
# in something like http://localhost:8080/api/v1/something?token=something
[params]
token = something

# headers if needed
[headers]
content-type = application/json

usage example

> aioload -h
usage: aioload [-h] [-d] [-v] [-n NUMBER_OF_REQUESTS] [-c CONCURRENCY]
               [--plot]
               testfile

positional arguments:
  testfile              Test file to be executed

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -d, --debug           true if present
  -v, --verbose         true if present
  -n NUMBER_OF_REQUESTS, --number_of_requests NUMBER_OF_REQUESTS
                        number of requests to be done, default: 100
  -c CONCURRENCY, --concurrency CONCURRENCY
                        concurrency (requests at the same time), default: 10
  --plot                draw charts if present

> aioload config.ini -n 3000 -c 100 --plot -v

You can override aioload runner methods, here is an example. Then you should execute the script you made, in this example: python sample/dynamic_test.py conf.ini -v

Note

Python has limits, if your applications is crazy fast like this crystal server, the test will be limited by aiosonic's client speed.
