Tsung could be a good option: http://tsung.erlang-projects.org/ http://tsung.erlang-projects.org/
It is a very technical tool, and it sure could use a bit more documentation for getting started, but it does what you're asking for.
You can set it up to run as a proxie and connect a browser. Then you record various sessions of typical browsing of the site you want to test and Tsung will save them in an xml format.
Based on these xml sessions you then setup a test plan for Tsung where you can define phases. The idea is to make the phases increasingly tough on the site with more and more users arriving per second.
Once you have the test plan you let Tsung loose on your servers and you will get some nice graphs and reports. If you made the later phases brutal enough you should get to see at what point the increasing traffic makes your site die and you will know wether that point is something that could realistically be reached during normal use...
- marcamillion 17y agoHrmm....this solution sounds good from the point of view from a site owner. i.e. handling a spike in traffic to my site and trying to plan accordingly. However, the issue I am having is trying to manage the IT infrastructure to handle 150 people joining the WiFi network at the exact same time. I am trying to setup the wifi network so that it can withstand such an onslaught without crashing.
