funkload 1.1.0

Functional and load web tester.

Latest Version: 1.10.0

FunkLoad is a functional and load web tester, written in Python, whose main use cases are:

• Functional testing of web projects, and thus regression testing as well.
• Performance testing: by loading the web application and monitoring your servers it helps you to pinpoint bottlenecks, giving a detailed report of performance measurement.
• Load testing tool to expose bugs that do not surface in cursory testing, like volume testing or longevity testing.
• Stress testing tool to overwhelm the web application resources and test the application recoverability.
• Writing web agents by scripting any web repetitive task, like checking if a site is alive.

Main FunkLoad features are:

• Functional test are pure Python scripts using the pyUnit framework like normal unit test. Python enable complex scenarios to handle real world applications.
• Truly emulates a web browser (single-threaded) using Richard Jones' webunit:
  • basic authentication support
  • cookies support
  • fetching css, javascript and images
  • emulating a browser cache
  • file upload and multipart/form-data submission
  • https support
• Advanced test runner with many command-line options:
  • set the target server url
  • display the fetched page in real time in your browser
  • debug mode
  • green/red color mode
• Turn a functional test into a load test: just by invoking the bench runner you can identify scalability and performance problems.
• Detailed bench reports in ReST or HTML (and PDF via ps2pdf) containing:
  • bench configuration
  • tests, pages, requests stats and charts.
  • 5 slowest requests
  • servers cpu usage, load average, memory/swap usage and network traffic charts.
  • http error summary list
• Easy test customization using a configuration file or command line options.
• Easy test creation using TestMaker / maxq recorder, so you can use your web browser and produce a FunkLoad test automatically.
• Provides web assertion helpers.
• Provides a funkload.CPSTestCase to ease Zope and Nuxeo CPS testing.
• Easy to use, see examples in the demo folder.
