Windows Apache AB Installation and stress testing

AB is the abbreviation for apachebench.

The AB command creates multiple concurrent access threads, simulating multiple visitors accessing a URL address at the same time. Its test target is URL-based, so it can be used to test the load pressure of Apache, as well as other Web servers such as Nginx, Lighthttp, Tomcat, and IIS.

The AB command is very low on the computer that emits the load, and it does not occupy a high CPU or consume a lot of memory. But it will cause a huge load on the target server, which works like a CC attack. You also need to be aware of your own testing, or too much load at a time. May cause the target server resources to run out, serious even causes the panic.
