Is it just me who is continuously amazed at how stupid the whole security circus has become? You're a lot more likely to get hit by lightning than be the victim of a terrorist attack, and yet we spend probably trillions on manpower, t

Anyone here have any idea how it came about that the element called Tungsten in english, is called Wolfram in swedish? Tungsten is obviously from swedish, as "tung" means "heavy" and "sten" means "rock&qu

I second the first two comments (i.e. take some time off to think, and be sure to take into account that money is NOT as valuable as time). I founded a startup just before the dotcom crash, failed to find seed money during&after the cra

Here is my take on the most common open source tools: - Gatling: https://gatling.io/ - Great tool. Fast, full-featured, flexible, well documented. Main drawback is that you script it in Scala... UX for automation purposes c

Locust has a very nice UX for developers, but it is very slow and produces inaccurate response time measurements

Tsung is very good - fast and w lots of features. Its main drawback, IMO, is the XML-based config/user scenarios.

Thanks for recommending k6! Disclaimer: I'm involved in the k6 project, so quite biased :) I think k6 is the best tool available if you're a developer who wants to automate load testing. But I also actually wrote a review article

Sustainable logging isn't enough in itself to really maintain insect diversity because logging forests aren't very diverse forests so they only help a small number of insects thrive. But if done right (e.g. leaving some dead tree

Yes, a big problem for insects in suburban areas is humans tendency to want "manicured" nature. Just walk around anywhere in e.g. silicon valley, where lawns are kept short and there are less than a dozen types of trees and bushes

Yeah, we have this issue: https://github.com/loadimpact/k6/issues/140 But you can actually aggregate results already, if you use InfluxDB as results storage: you can have multiple k6 instances push results da

Thanks, I'll make sure the "params" object gets documented also. Currently, there is not so much you can set per HTTP request. You can basically add HTTP headers and you can also add tags that lets you single out specific res

I'll update the docs with some info on the JSON format first thing on monday! If you should happen to try out k6 in the meantime, most of the JSON contents should be recognizable/understandable just by looking at the output, if yo

If you're interested, here is the Github issue for Websockets support in k6: https://github.com/loadimpact/k6/issues/178 We'd really appreciate any comments/feedback you may have on exactly how

I am of course biased, but I have used Vegeta. I did a writeup on it, and a bunch of other load testing tools in this article: http://blog.loadimpact.com/open-source-load-testing-tool-rev... The single biggest difference is

No, there is currently no support for websockets. We have been asked for this a couple of times though, and are considering bumping up the priority for a websockets implementation. As of now, k6 can do standard http, https (and it also supp

Thanks for the nice words! If you see anything missing, don't hesitate to create an issue about it on Github ( https://github.com/loadimpact/k6 ). We're trying really hard to build the things people ask for. A

k6 is our attempt at creating a modern, developer/devops-centric load testing tool suitable for automation. It is released as open source on Github, scriptable in JavaScript (ES6), and built on a Golang core that provides good speed an

I like the name, and the robot :-) Not a bad service either, but I too think you should offer it on a per-call basis. That way there is very little reason not to buy it. /Ragnar

Session recording is something we are very interested in. We currently have a session recorder that is run as a zero-configuration proxy. I.e. you don't need to install any plugin or anything, and you don't need to change your browser confi

Thanks, that's good feedback. We are actually working right now to provide another option - initially we wanted to sell a "single test" but we realised people are likely to want to fiddle around with their configuration a bit, maybe start a

I hear you, and you're absolutely right, we will provide an easy way to opt-out for those who want to. It's on its way.

It's actually a breach of our TOS also, that states you have to be the owner, or in lawful control of, a site to test it. I guess we might be able to push this message a lot more than we're currently doing though. Not many people actually v

Sorry to hear you were disappointed. We will try and improve the registration procedure, and also the feedback to users as regarding why load tests are denied (often, it is because some resource used on your site have been used by a lot of

We have two load generator nodes right now. One in Stockholm, Sweden and one in Chicago, US. The default node is the Stockholm one, however, and only paying users are allowed to choose what load generator they use. If people want more locat

No, it is most likely because your site is loading some object - like urchin.js from google-analytics.com - that a lot of other tests have been loading also. That means that our security checks will think someone is trying to DOS google-ana

by rlonn 18y ago
Yeah, this is something we have thought about also. We already have this security feature that uses a special file (loadimpact.txt) on the target system(s) to verify that it's OK to run large-scale tests. We should probably improve on that
