I wrote a Python web API that may get large amounts of requests per day. I want to test load levels before I go any further.
What is the best way to simulate large amounts of traffic on my localhost web application? Is there a (linux compatible) tool that will send large amounts of requests to a localhost URL?
Creating a Web Server Stress TestRecord one or more user scenarios. (Optional) Modify the recorded traffic. Create a load test that will simulate several virtual users. Assigns scenarios to the users (you can assign the same scenario to several users or assign an individual scenario to each user).
I found a decent looking list here. One of them may work for you. I have also used Watir (FireWatir in your case) scripts for smaller load tests in the 10-20 user range.
