I am looking for a well maintained open source framework for load testing http services. It would be nice if I could create arbitrary HTTP requests, control the rate of reqeusts and graph the resource consumption over time. Ideally it would use SNMP to gather data from a remote server that it is testing.
Apache JMeter is good for load tests. http://jmeter.apache.org/ Has many features and a good graphical UI. Give it a try.
Another alternative that comes bundled in many Linux distros and OS X is
abtool.There’s also another program called
boomoriginally written in Python (https://github.com/tarekziade/boom) and then in Go (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.codedom.codecompileunit(v=vs.110).aspx).But JMeter has tons of features and fancy reporting among all.
