Web Services load testing using Pylot

After developing web services we may need to make a load testing for it to test how many agents the web service can serve in the same time.

We can do this load testing using many tools but today we found an open source python project (Pylot)

By this project we can run some test cases with different configurations like:

1. Number of agents.
2. Test Duration.
3. Time between each user.

and there are many configurations can be set using GUI or from command line before running the testing script.

All test cases are written in a XML file and every agent run it.

The Result of the test will be generated in HTML file which will have something like:

1. The Average Response Time.
2. The Minimum Response Time.
3. The Maximum Response Time.
4. The ST.DEV.
5. Number of Requests made by Agents.
6. Number of failed requests.
7. Errors Returned from web services.
