This directory contains some very simple loadtests, written using the "loads" framework: https://github.com/mozilla/loads To run them, you will need the following dependencies: * Python development files (e.g. python-dev or python-devel package) * Virtualenv (e.g. python-virtualenv package) * ZeroMQ development files (e.g. libzmq-dev package) Then do the following: $> make build # installs local environment with all dependencies $> make test # runs a single test, to check that everything's working $> make bench # runs a much longer higher-concurrency test.
