AWBOT Introduction AWBOT is an easy-to-use test web site gadget. Site at http://awbot.sourceforge.net. The project is an auxiliary project for the AWSTATS project. The features of AWBOT are simple to simulate the behavior of the user access to the site, the test site's response and load pressure, and the benchmark test can be performed. Specifically, AWBOT has the following features:
It is easy to use. Support basic HTTP verification requests. You can set different pre-submission tasks (external scripts, sql commands, etc.) before and after testing. You can check the result of each HTML page's HTTP request to verify the content containing characteristics. Keywords Or the value to be parsed. You can dynamically define the URLs and parameters used to test. You can run multiple sessions to test load pressure. For each page report error, response time and flat response time open source (GNU General Public License) AWBOT has XML PAD (Portable Application Description). Other Features Installation requirements AWBOT requires that the system must meet the following requirements:
The system must be supported by Perl to run Perl scripts. Otherwise, you want to download Perl: ActivePerl (Win32) or in Perl.com (UNIX / Linux / Other). You must add Perl module Time :: HIRES, so that the time can take milliseconds. If you want to execute the SQL command before submission, Add a DBI / DBD database Perl module. Installing Reference The following is a installation log:
