Nginx压力测试工具之WebBench

在运维工作中，压力测试是一项非常重要的工作。比如在一个网站上线之前，能承受多大访问量、在大访问量情况下性能怎样，这些数据指标好坏将会直接影响用户体验。

　　但是，在压力测试中存在一个共性，那就是压力测试的结果与实际负载结果不会完全相同，就算压力测试工作做的再好，也不能保证100%和线上性能指标相同。面对这些问题，我们只能尽量去想方设法去模拟。所以，压力测试非常有必要，有了这些数据，我们就能对自己做维护的平台做到心中有数。

　　目前较为常见的网站压力测试工具有webbench、ab(apache bench)、tcpcopy、loadrunner。

　　webbench由Lionbridge公司开发，主要测试每秒钟请求数和每秒钟数据传输量，同时支持静态、动态、SSL，部署简单，静动态均可测试。适用于小型网站压力测试(单例最多可模拟3万并发) 。

　　ab(apache bench)Apache自带的压力测试工具，主要功能用于测试网站每秒钟处理请求个数，多见用于静态压力测试，功能较弱，非专业压力测试工具。

　　tcpcopy基于底层应用请求复制，可转发各种在线请求到测试服务器，具有分布式压力测试功能，所测试数据与实际生产数据较为接近后起之秀，主要用于中大型压力测试，所有基于tcp的packets均可测试。

　　loadrunner压力测试界的泰斗，可以创建虚拟用户，可以模拟用户真实访问流程从而录制成脚本，其测试结果也最为逼真模拟最为逼真，并可进行独立的单元测试，但是部署配置较为复杂，需要专业人员才可以。

　　下面，笔者就以webbench为例，来讲解一下网站在上线之前压力测试是如何做的。

当并发2000时，网站便出现"502 Bad Gateway"，由此可见web服务器已无法再处理用户访问请求

总结：

1、压力测试工作应该放到产品上线之前，而不是上线以后

2、测试时尽量跨公网进行，而不是内网

3、测试时并发应当由小逐渐加大，比如并发100时观察一下网站负载是多少、打开是否流程，并发200时又是多少、网站打开缓慢时并发是多少、网站打不开时并发又是多少

4、 应尽量进行单元测试，如B2C网站可以着重测试购物车、推广页面等，因为这些页面占整个网站访问量比重较大
