Web性能压力测试工具ApacheBench(ab)

    ApacheBench是apache自带的ab程序，可以实现对Apache或其他web服务器的性能压力测试。

    ab会并发创建很多个现成来模拟多个用户同时对url进行访问。ab命令对发出负载的计算机要求很低，既不会占用很高CPU，也不会占用很多内存，但却会给目标服务器造成巨大的负载。

    常用的命令格式举例：

        ab -n 5000 -c 1000 url

    -n后面的4000代表总共发出4000个请求；-c后面的1000表示采用1000个并发（模拟1000个人同时访问），后面的网址表示测试的目标URL。

    

    执行结果：

07:29 [root@IP]$ ab -n 2000 -c 100 http://www.xxx.com/a/id_XMTM5NDY0.html

    网络环境对测试结果影响比较大，单台服务器情况下在本机测试，或者在局域网中对服务器集群进行测试，结果会更准确一些。
