Web Application to Simulate Load Test

1. Checkout the code.

   $ git clone https://github.com/parshuram-patil/LoadTestWebApp.git
   

2. Create a python virtual environment

   $ cd LoadTestWebApp
   $ python -m venv ENV
   

3. Activate the virtual environment

   For Windows:

   $ cd LoadTestWebApp          (if not already in the project base directory)
   $ .\ENV\Scripts\activate.bat
   

   For Bash:

   $ cd LoadTestWebApp          (if not already in the project base directory)
   $ source ENV/Scripts/activate
   

4. Download & install required Python Dependencies. (ENV) $ pip install -r requirements.txt

5. Running the Application

   (ENV) $ python app.py
   

Memory Test API's will consume either specified/default memory.

• It divides allowed memory in 10 chunks
• Consumes all chunks one after another with delay of 5 seconds
• After consuming all the chunks it waits for 10 seconds
• Finally it releases all the memory and respond back with "Done!"

• Consuming memory of default size i.e 1GB

  curl http://127.0.0.1:5000/load/test/memory
  

• Consuming memory of custom size

  URL parameter 'allowedMemory' specifies how much memory in Gb you want to consume

  Eg.

  • Consuming 10 GB

    curl http://127.0.0.1:5000/load/test/memory?allowedMemory=10
    

  • Consuming 5 GB

    curl http://127.0.0.1:5000/load/test/memory?allowedMemory=4
