FREME LOADTEST

This repository contains a Python script to test the performance of FREME'S NER Service.

All you need is a Python 3 Installation (it will not work with Python 2)

This is done by sending every text file from the sample_dataset directory to the NER Service. We start with 1 (default) thread (wait for response until we send the next request), and continue upwards.

The following parameters exist:

• min_threads : Amount of threads we start with. Must be an integer greater than 0. Defaults to 1
• max_threads : Amount of threads we end with. Must be an integer greater than min_threads. Defaults to 101
• step : Amount of threads we increase by in every run. Must be an integer greater than 0. Defaults to 5
• n_files : Number of text files to use. When not given, will use every text file in sample_dataset. Must be an integer greater than 0
• url : Url to test against. Can not be changed by command line flag, must be changed in source (loadtest.py)
• dataset_directory : Path to dataset containing files to test. Defaults to sample_dataset. Can not be changed by command line flag, must be changed in source (loadtest.py)

Of which the first 4 can be set by command line flags.

Examples

To run with all defaults on, simply run:

python3 loadtest.py

To run, starting with 5 threads, ending with 50 threads, and testing every 10 steps, run:

python3 loadtest.py -min_threads 5 -max_threads 50 -step 10

This repository also contains a deprecated JMeter Test. Further instructions can be found inside the jmeter-test directory.
