load testing advice?

Hello,

I am involved in a project which might have large numbers of people
accessing the web site at the same time.

The pages have javascipt code and also involve adidng/taking data
to/from a MySQL database.

Is it possible to load test the site in any way?

Is it necessary to move the web site onto a non-host-sharing server?
These are much more expensive but may be required?

Are there any precautions required with accessing the database? Do you
have to lock tables/records to prevent corruption?

Any advice will be appreciated.

Cheers

Geoff

You may find the following books from O'Reilly helpful.

"Building Scalable Web Sites"
"High Performance Web Sites"
"High Performance MySQL"

I haven't read them they might get you on the right path.

I've got a PHP system working on a development server (Windows 2000/IIS5/PHP 4.3.3) but it doesn't seem to be working quite right on the testing server (same except PHP 4.2.3). I upgraded the PHP on the testing server but that didn't seem to make any difference. One difference I noticed is that on the dev server, the session cookie is modified on EVERY page load. On the testing server the cookie gets created alright but it doesn't seem...

I have obtained an ODBC driver from MySQL and have some specific queries i would like to use in...

Hi, I've been searching for solutions to two issues that are undoubtedly common to everybody. The first is how do my team and I adequately perform unit testing. The second is how can I measure a load on my application? In the past, we would write our class and then come up with some logic in a console or win app to test it. I have since found NUnit which seems to be pretty cool. BTW: if anybody has some XSLTs that provide...

Sorry for the advertisement but I think this is something that people could actually use. I am creating a new product called Simple Load Testing and I thought I would see if anyone would be interested in giving it a try in it's beta stage. Keep in mind that it is still in the beta stages so there will be bugs - but so far it seems to be stable in the testing that I have done. There are no licenses or limitations in the beta version so...

Okay, I have two identical web servers running Windows 2003 web server. I have an ASP.NET application which runs great on one of them. Dedicated IP address, behind our firewall, etc. Everyone's happy. Now -- how do I take advantage of that second computer to "load-balance" the web site? Will it really give my users a noticable performance increase? How do you accomplish this? I've read many of those MS articles and it's...

Hi, I know that VS 2005 has a lot of testing features and already used them for doing web load testing. I am wondering if it is possible to load test a win forms application. I don't mean writing unit tests, what I need to do is run a load test against my executable and watch CPU utilization and memory usage. When doing web load testing, a wizard help us to write the scenario through recording steps in a session. Ultimatly I need to...

I'm by no means a testing expert, but I'll take a crack at it. Casey McGinty wrote: I've never run into this. Rule of thumb: always separate software from hardware. Write mock classes or functions that do your hardware/file access that always return known data (but remember to test for alpha and beta errors--make sure both valid and invalid data are handled correctly). That way you can test the client code that is accessing the...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
