Simple Ruby load test library. Give it a try !

Warning: High CPU is needed to run this or you will get an unreliable result. If you are an AWS user, I suggest you to look for spot compute instance for this kind of task.

Install it yourself as:

$ gem install gas_load_tester

require 'gas_load_tester'

simple_test = GasLoadTester::Test.new({client: 10000, time: 60})
simple_test.run do
  RestClient.get("https://www.mysite.com", {})
end
simple_test.results

simple_test = GasLoadTester::Test.new({client: 10000, time: 60})
simple_test.run(output: true, file_name: '/mytest/mysite_result') do
  RestClient.get("https://www.mysite.com", {})
end

simple_group_test = GasLoadTester::GroupTest.new([
  {"client" => 100, "time" => 5},
  {"client" => 150, "time" => 10},
  {"client" => 160, "time" => 7}
])
simple_group_test.run(output: true, file_name: '/mytest/mysite_group_result.html') do
  RestClient.get("https://www.mysite.com", {})
end

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
