Simple Perl script for automating the process of benchmarking a web server
Autobench is a simple Perl script for automating the process of benchmarking
a web server (or for conducting a comparative test of two different web
servers). The script is a wrapper around httperf. Autobench runs httperf a
number of times against each host, increasing the number of requested
connections per second on each iteration, and extracts the significant data
from the httperf output, delivering a CSV or TSV format file which can be
imported directly into a spreadsheet for analysis/graphing.
Paths come from the repository package-file index for the observed builds. They describe archive/package associations, not every file that will exist on a running system after maintainer scripts, alternatives, generated state, diversions, or installation choices.
Each row is recorded package-index metadata for one version, architecture, suite, and repository. Names, URLs, and sizes are source-reported; a link is a potentially mutable retrieval location, not an OpenFactory redistribution claim or proof that OpenFactory retained the artifact bytes.
