Hi, This is probably a silly question: Isn't a stress test supposed to max out the server?
That said, I know little of serious performance testing. :) I would stress my server, not to find out if my App has performance problems but to find out what the limit of my server is. When I profile my code to find bottlenecks, I need to measure how long my code takes to run certain methods or groups of methods. Maxing out Apache would not tell me much. I mostly "maunally" profile suspected bottlenecks in my apps. I add lots and lots of data, because 2nd to requestAction, the biggest slow- down in most cases is data manipulation. Then I try to cause some clear improvement by optimizing how and what data is queried. Containable is my new best friend :) Are you using JMeter because it is able to track how php handles each request? /Martin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
