How to use Apache's AB tool for website performance testing

The Apache server comes with an AB stress test tool that can be used to test website performance and ease of use.

1. Open the Apache server installation path, in the bin directory there is a Ab.exe executable program, is the stress test tool we want to introduce.

2. Under the Windows System command line, go to the directory where the Ab.exe program is located and execute the Ab.exe program. Note the direct double-click does not work correctly.

3.

AB's usage is: AB [options] [http://]hostname[:p Ort]/path

Example: Ab-n 5000-c http://localhost/index.php

The above example shows a total of 5,000 accesses to the http://localhost/index.php script, and 200 concurrent execution at the same time.

Introduction of the common parameters of AB:

-N: Total number of requests executed, default is 1;

-C: Concurrency number, default is 1;

-T: Total time to test, seconds, default 50000s

Data files when-p:post

-W: Output results in HTML table format

4. Execute the test case: Ab-n 1000-c 100-w http://localhost/index.php >>c:\1.html

The above test case represents 100 concurrent scenarios, a total of test accesses to the index.php script 1000 times, and the test results are saved to the c:\1.html file.
