What is Apache benchmark?

Apache Benchmark is a tool for benchmarking your HTTP server. Taurus supports the following features of Apache Benchmark: iterations: number of requests to make. concurrency: number of multiple requests to make at a time (defaults to 1).

How to Conduct A/B Testing

1. Pick one variable to test.
2. Identify your goal.
3. Create a ‘control’ and a ‘challenger.
4. Split your sample groups equally and randomly.
5. Determine your sample size (if applicable).
6. Decide how significant your results need to be.
7. Make sure you’re only running one test at a time on any campaign.

ApacheBench ( ab ) is a single-threaded command line computer program for measuring the performance of HTTP web servers. Originally designed to test the Apache HTTP Server, it is generic enough to test any web server.

A/B testing is essentially an experiment where two or more variants of a page are shown to users at random, and statistical analysis is used to determine which variation performs better for a given conversion goal.

4 reasons not to run a test

• Don’t A/B test when: you don’t yet have meaningful traffic.
• Don’t A/B test if: you can’t safely spend the time.
• Don’t A/B test if: you don’t yet have an informed hypothesis.
• Don’t A/B test if: there’s low risk to taking action right away.

While ApacheBench was designed to benchmark the Apache web server, it is a fully fledged HTTP client that benchmarks actual connections, and you can use it to test the performance of any backend that processes HTTP requests.

Load testing is performed to determine a system’s behavior under both normal and anticipated peak load conditions. It helps to identify the maximum operating capacity of an application as well as any bottlenecks and determine which element is causing degradation.

While ab runs, there will be -c clients hitting the site. This is what actually decides the amount of stress your site will suffer during the benchmark. -n: Indicates how many requests are going to be made.

Apache benchmark is a simple-to-use tool to help you understand how an HTTP server copes with large volumes of traffic. The tool comes pre-installed on MacOS. If you are using a Linux distribution, Apache Benchmark comes along with the httpd package which can be installed with whatever package management system your distribution uses.

Indicates how many clients (people/users) will be hitting the site at the same time. While ab runs, there will be -c clients hitting the site. This is what actually decides the amount of stress your site will suffer during the benchmark. -n: Indicates how many requests are going to be made. This just decides the length of the benchmark.

Use Apache Bench with the ab command. The most basic syntax is: ab requires the trailing slash on the hostname/IP address. This basic command isn’t particularly useful without any additional options, so let’s include some. Apache Bench has a lot of options available, but some of the most useful are:
