Easy Benchmarking Suite is designed to test and benchmark websites efficiently.
In addition, Easy Benchmarking Suite allows users to prepare a GnuPlot command file to plot the results they've obtained. The suite is documented in this file, and manual pages have been provided for each of the separate parts of the suite: sitebench, sitecollect, and siteplot.
To run this suite, you'll need a system that's quick enough to benchmark sites without negatively impacting system resources. Additionally, you'll need Perl 5 (or better), along with the necessary modules: Getopt::Std, IO::Socket::INET, and Time::HiRes. Most modern Perl installations have these modules on-board.
If you want to plot collected data, GnuPlot is necessary. Lastly, the GNU Make package is required if you want to install this package using make. If not, you can always install the suite manually.
An update to Easy Benchmarking Suite now includes a flag, "-t SEC" in the sitebench script. This allows benchmarking clients to wait before issuing another request, ensuring that requests are SEC seconds apart. This feature emulates user behavior more closely, making it a more realistic tool to use.
Overall, the Easy Benchmarking Suite is an excellent choice for those who need to test and benchmark websites quickly and easily. It's easy to use and packed with useful tools to ensure accurate results.
