ab测试

我们知道压力测试的 软件确实很多，诸如微软的WAST，惠普的LoadRunner以及等等其他的，但这些软件学习起来还是需要花费些时间，在选择上实在头痛，后来在郭欣的 那本《构建高性能WEB站点》上看到了他介绍的这款Apache自带的压力测试工具ab，十分喜爱，于是今天终于有机会体验下ab对网站的压力测试。

    实验之前我的apache已经安装了，操作系统：Ubuntu 10.04 VMware 7.0

1、先查看一下版本信息 ab -V（注意是大写的V）

studiogang@studiogang:~$ ab -V
This is ApacheBench, Version 2.3 <$Revision: 655654 $>

 2、我们也可以使用小写的v查看下ab命令的一些属性 ab -v

studiogang@studiogang:~$ ab -v
ab: option requires an argument -- v
ab: wrong number of arguments
Usage: ab [options] [http[s]://]hostname[:port]/path
Options are:
    -n requests     Number of requests to perform
    -c concurrency  Number of multiple requests to make
    -t timelimit    Seconds to max. wait for responses
    -b windowsize   Size of TCP send/receive buffer, in bytes
    -p postfile     File containing data to POST. Remember also to set -T
    -u putfile      File containing data to PUT. Remember also to set -T
    -T content-type Content-type header for POSTing, eg.
                    'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
                    Default is 'text/plain'
    -v verbosity    How much troubleshooting info to print
    -w              Print out results in HTML tables
    -i              Use HEAD instead of GET
    -x attributes   String to insert as table attributes
    -y attributes   String to insert as tr attributes
    -z attributes   String to insert as td or th attributes
    -C attribute    Add cookie, eg. 'Apache=1234. (repeatable)
    -H attribute    Add Arbitrary header line, eg. 'Accept-Encoding: gzip'
                    Inserted after all normal header lines. (repeatable)
    -A attribute    Add Basic WWW Authentication, the attributes
                    are a colon separated username and password.
    -P attribute    Add Basic Proxy Authentication, the attributes
                    are a colon separated username and password.
    -X proxy:port   Proxyserver and port number to use
    -V              Print version number and exit
    -k              Use HTTP KeepAlive feature
    -d              Do not show percentiles served table.
    -S              Do not show confidence estimators and warnings.
    -g filename     Output collected data to gnuplot format file.
    -e filename     Output CSV file with percentages served
    -r              Don't exit on socket receive errors.
    -h              Display usage information (this message)
    -Z ciphersuite  Specify SSL/TLS cipher suite (See openssl ciphers)
    -f protocol     Specify SSL/TLS protocol (SSL2, SSL3, TLS1, or ALL)

3、现在我们就对51CTO的网站进行一次压力测试吧，使用命令ab -n1000 -c10 http://www.51cto.com/index.php，其中 -n1000 表示总请求数 -c10表示并发用户数为10 http://www.51cto.com/index.php 表示请求的URL，下面是测试的结果，其中我们最关心的三个指标，我已经注释出来了。

studiogang@studiogang:~$ ab -n1000 -c10 http://www.51cto.com/index.php

4、为了使结果更有对比性，我们将并发用户更改为100个进行压力测试，我这里只将三个指标贴出来。

Requests per second:    190.95 [#/sec] (mean)
Time per request:       523.694 [ms] (mean)
Time per request:       5.237 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests)

5、将并发用户改为200个进行测试

Requests per second:    186.00 [#/sec] (mean)
Time per request:       1149.433 [ms] (mean)
Time per request:       5.747 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests)

6、500个并发用户时的情况

Requests per second:    180.99 [#/sec] (mean)
Time per request:       2631.662 [ms] (mean)
Time per request:       5.263 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests)

     我们来分析下测试的结果，先对比下吞吐率，当并发用户的时候吞吐率最高为190 reqs/s,当并发用户数为200,500 吞吐率下降了，随之用户的等待时间更是明显增加了，已经有2s的等待时间了。这说明性能明显下降了。当然分析这个测试结果并不是说明51CTO的网站的并 发用户只能在500左右，因为我是在服务器负荷的情况下就行测试的，这显然不能说明问题。另外我们在生产环境下测试的时候，最好能将测试结果做成报表，这 样可以非常清晰地对比出问题来，好了，我该准备下，给上面提交一份我们公司网站的测试报告了。
