Expressive, scalable load testing tool
MZBench helps software testers and developers test their products under huge load. By testing your product with MZBench before going to production, you reduce the risk of outages under real life highload.
MZBench runs test scenarios on many machines simultaneous, maintaining millions of connections, which make it suitable even for large scale products.
MZBench is:
- Cloud-aware: MZBench allocates nodes directly from Amazon EC2.
- Scalable: tested with 100 nodes and millions of connections.
- Extendable: write your own cloud plugins and workers.
- Open-source: MZBench is released under the BSD license.
To use MZBench, you'll need:
- Erlang R17
- C++ compiler
- Python 2.6 or 2.7 with pip
Download MZBench from GitHub and install Python requirements:
$ git clone https://github.com/machinezone/mzbench
$ sudo pip install -r mzbench/requirements.txt Start the MZBench server on localhost:

Executing make -C /path/to//mzbench/bin/../server generate
Executing /path/to//mzbench/bin/../server/_build/default/rel/mzbench_api/bin/mzbench_api startWhen the server is running, launch an example benchmark:
$ ./bin/mzbench run examples/ramp.erl
{
"status": "pending",
"id": 6
}
