我们知道压力测试的软件确实很多，诸如微软的WAST，惠普的LoadRunner以及等等其他的，但这些软件学习起来还是需要花费些时间，在选择上实在头痛，后来在郭欣的那本《构建高性能Web站点》【PDF下载 】上看到了他介绍的这款Apache自带的压力测试工具AB，十分喜爱，于是今天终于有机会体验下ab对网站的压力测试。
实验之前我的apache已经安装了，操作系统：Ubuntu 10.04 VMware 7.0
1、先查看一下版本信息 ab -V（注意是大写的V）
01.linuxidc@linuxidc:~$ ab -V
02.This is ApacheBench, Version 2.3 <$Revision: 655654 $>
03.Copyright 1996 Adam Twiss, Zeus Technology Ltd,

2、我们也可以使用小写的v查看下ab命令的一些属性 ab -v
01.linuxidc@linuxidc:~$ ab -v
02.ab: option requires an argument -- v
03.ab: wrong number of arguments
04.Usage: ab [options] [http[s]://]hostname[:port]/path
05.Options are:
06. -n requests Number of requests to perform
07. -c concurrency Number of multiple requests to make
08. -t timelimit Seconds to max. wait for responses
09. -b windowsize Size of TCP send/receive buffer, in bytes
10. -p postfile File containing data to POST. Remember also to set -T
11. -u putfile File containing data to PUT. Remember also to set -T
12. -T content-type Content-type header for POSTing, eg.
13. 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
14. Default is 'text/plain'
15. -v verbosity How much troubleshooting info to print
16. -w Print out results in HTML tables
17. -i Use HEAD instead of GET
18. -x attributes String to insert as table attributes
19. -y attributes String to insert as tr attributes
20. -z attributes String to insert as td or th attributes
21. -C attribute Add cookie, eg. 'Apache=1234. (repeatable)
22. -H attribute Add Arbitrary header line, eg. 'Accept-Encoding: gzip'
23. Inserted after all normal header lines. (repeatable)
24. -A attribute Add Basic WWW Authentication, the attributes
25. are a colon separated username and password.
26. -P attribute Add Basic Proxy Authentication, the attributes
27. are a colon separated username and password.
28. -X proxy:port Proxyserver and port number to use
29. -V Print version number and exit
30. -k Use HTTP KeepAlive feature
31. -d Do not show percentiles served table.
32. -S Do not show confidence estimators and warnings.
33. -g filename Output collected data to gnuplot format file.
34. -e filename Output CSV file with percentages served
35. -r Don't exit on socket receive errors.
36. -h Display usage information (this message)
37. -Z ciphersuite Specify SSL/TLS cipher suite (See openssl ciphers)
38. -f protocol Specify SSL/TLS protocol (SSL2, SSL3, TLS1, or ALL)
3、现在我们就对88181的网站进行一次压力测试吧，使用命令ab -n1000 -c10 ，其中 -n1000 表示总请求数 -c10表示并发用户数为10 表示请求的URL，下面是测试的结果，其中我们最关心的三个指标，我已经注释出来了。
