Tsung is an open-source multi-protocol distributed load testing tool.
Tsung is an open source multi-protocol distributed load tool.
The purpose of Tsung is to simulate users in order to test the scalability and performance of IP based client/server applications.
Tsung is written in Erlang to take advantage of that language’s concurrency support.
Tsung will send X TPS every second even if tested system cannot cope - so you can expose bottlnecks.
The tool can simulate very large numbers of users per server, making it ideal for analyzing and testing the performance of large-scale applications, such as instant messaging solutions.
Tsung scales well (it’s been used to simulate tens of thousands of users), it supports forms and HTTP sessions, and includes some niceties like proxy recording, ‘thinktime’ support, and a choice of random or ordered traffic.
Tsung is available free of charge under the GPLv2 license as an open-source software product.
It is protocol-independent and can be used to stress HTTP, WebDAV, SOAP, PostgreSQL, MySQL, LDAP, Jabber/XMPP servers.
