Stress test related indicators
-
Throughput (Requests per second, RPS): the number of requests processed per unit time under a certain number of concurrent users.
Note: RPS is based on the number of concurrent users. R P S = C o m p l e t e r e q u e s t s / T i m e t a k e n f o r t e s t s RPS = Complete\ requests / Time\ taken\ for\ tests RPS=Complete requests/Time taken for tests
-
The number of concurrent connections refers to the number of requests accepted by the server at a certain time.
-
The number of concurrent users, Concurrency Level
Note: different from the number of concurrent connections, a user may generate multiple sessions at the same time, that is, the number of connections.
-
Average user request waiting time (Time per request) T i m e p e r r e q u e s t = T i m e t a k e n f o r t e s t s / ( C o m p l e t e r e q u e s t s / C o n c u r r e n c y L e v e l ) Time \ per\ request = Time\ taken\ for\ tests / (Complete\ requests / Concurrency\ Level) Time per request=Time taken for tests/(Complete requests/Concurrency Level)
webbench
The standard test of webch can show us two contents of the server: the number of corresponding requests per second and the amount of data transmitted per second. Webbench can not only test quasi-static pages, but also test dynamic pages (ASP,PHP,JAVA,CGI). In addition, it supports static or dynamic performance testing of secure websites containing SSL, such as e-commerce websites. Webbench can simulate up to 30000 concurrent connections to test the load capacity of the website.

Apache bench
The ab command will create many concurrent access threads to simulate multiple visitors accessing a URL address at the same time.

Test your web server
ab -n 10000 -c 100 URL
Test 10000 requests, 100 concurrent cases, corresponding server configuration, 6G memory + 4-core CPU under VBOX, run the test program locally, and the test results are as follows
Server Software:
Server Hostname: ****
Server Port: ****
Document Path: /
Document Length: 1131 bytes
Concurrency Level: 100
Time taken for tests: 119.681 seconds

Failed requests: 0
Total transferred: 11890000 bytes
HTML transferred: 11310000 bytes
Requests per second: 83.56 [#/sec] (mean)
Time per request: 1196.808 [ms] (mean)
Time per request: 11.968 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests)
Transfer rate: 97.02 [Kbytes/sec] received
