Method and device for testing software performance

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a device for testing software performance. The method comprises the steps of: setting an execution cycle and a scheduling algorithm of a timing scheduler; setting the minimum number and the maximum number of threads in a thread pool and establishing the threads with the minimum number; initializing a performance testing client; in a current execution cycle, selecting the performance testing client and corresponding business operation according to the set scheduling algorithm and selecting an idle thread in the thread pool by utilizing the timing scheduler; carrying out the corresponding business operation according to the idle thread selected by the timing scheduler by utilizing the performance testing client; and after the business operation is carried out, putting the thread back in the thread pool and waiting for a next execution cycle. By means of the technical scheme disclosed by the invention, the high-load software performance testing process can be completed with relatively few system resources, and the capability of testing the software performance is enhanced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computer software performance testing, in particular to a software performance testing method and device. Background technique [0002] Currently performing a performance test on a piece of software: the common practice is to write a performance test code (script). The performance test code is essentially an automatically executed client program, which can be referred to as a performance test client for short. Then set up a performance test process, and run multiple performance test clients concurrently in the process to access application services, thus achieving the purpose of simulating the working pressure of multiple clients for performance testing. The rise of Internet applications poses more and more challenges to software performance testing. The simultaneous online use of massive users is a prominent feature of Internet applications. Therefore, software performance testing based on Internet applications r...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, the existing testing methods can only test some low-stress scenarios. If testing Internet services, the performance problems of the testing process will make the testing impossible or the cost of time, funds, and personnel will be very high.

In addition, the design process does not take into account the need for test clients to communicate with each other. For example, performance test client A requires performance test client B to complete a certain function or change a certain attribute at a certain test moment, which is impossible. Because a performance test client is closed in design, the test scenario design is not flexible enough

[0007] To sum up, in the prior art, the software performance testing method cannot realize the direct communication of test clients, and is limited by system resources when a large number of test clients are tested at the same time.
