Best way to load test a php web site with randomized input
Evening all,
I am looking for the best way to load test my web site that uses php and mysql to serve its content. Its a knowledge base that I need to see how many concurrent users I can send into the site before php and mySQL get overloaded. Currently I am using some generators and the HTTP runners but I need to have one runner per URL and what I want to try to do is give Load/Soap UI a file with a list of URL's that will randomly spawn a runner per URL on its own.
so basically I have this URL http://www.XXXX.com/index.php?View=entry&EntryID=XXXX I want the EntryID to randomize from 1-xxxx and load the web page so I can test a random page load so I can ensure that I load a page from the database.. currently when I use a set # of http runners, mySQL is caching the queries which isnt giving me real load stats.
