multi-mechanize test socket communication

[Gaofeng Liang]

Is there anyone who used multi-mechanize to test socket communication.

Give me an example if you have ever done this kind of test, thank you!

Hello,

I have used Multi-Mechanize for testing a server by establishing TCP Sockets (Establishing large # of sockets using the tool, send some message and test its stability)

Note:  Change the variable 'no_of_sockets' to adhere to your testing needs. The # of sockets can be controlled by this variable and by #of threads in the config file.
           In the below code 'no_of_sockets' is set to 10. And my config file has 2 user groups each with 5 threads. Hence, total # of sockets =2*5*10=100

Following is the sample code:

#Python Script to establish TCP sockets and send data
import socket
import time

sock_array=[]
class Transaction(object):
        def run(self):
               
                #Initialise Variables
                host = 'XXX.XXX.com'
                port = 1234
                src = ''
                no_of_sockets = 10      
                message="XXX"

                #Create Socket
                while no_of_sockets !=0:
                        try:
                                s = socket.create_connection((host,port),10,(src,0))
                        except Exception, e:
                                print "Exception: "+str(e)
                        sock_array.append(s)
                       print sock_array
                       no_of_sockets-=1

                        #Send Message
                        remote_ip = socket.gethostbyname(host)
                        print 'Socket Connected to ' + host + ' on ip ' + remote_ip
                        s.sendall(message)
                        print 'Message send successfully'

                        reply = s.recv(4096)
                        if reply=="":
                            print "no response"
                        print reply
                 time.sleep(120)

if __name__ == '__main__':
        trans= Transaction()
        trans.run()


Hope this helps.
Thanks!
