With the rise of micro-service architecture and the enhancement of information security awareness, more and more services are only allowed to be accessed by the enterprise intranet, and these services can be called intranet services. Currently, in order to measure the performance of the intranet services, pressure test can be performed on the intranet services, so as to analyze and optimize the intranet services based on the performance of the intranet services obtained after the pressure test.
The disclosure provides a method for testing a pressure, an electronic device and a storage medium.

It should be understood that the content described in this section is not intended to identify key or important features of the embodiments of the disclosure, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the disclosure. Additional features of the disclosure will be easily understood based on the following description.
The drawings are used to better understand the solution and do not constitute a limitation to the disclosure, in which:
The following describes the exemplary embodiments of the disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings, which includes various details of the embodiments of the disclosure to facilitate understanding, which shall be considered merely exemplary. Therefore, those of ordinary skill in the art should recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the disclosure. For clarity and conciseness, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.
In the technical solution of the disclosure, collection, storage, use, processing, transmission, provision and disclosure of the user's personal information involved are all in compliance with relevant laws and regulations, and do not violate public order and good customs.
In the related art, pressure testing can be performed on the intranet services through self-developed or open source pressure engines, such as Jmeter and Gatling.
For example, in case of an intranet physical computer room, multiple pressure engines are deployed in a physical machine according to a pressure peak required for testing, so as to obtain a physical machine cluster for the pressure test, and use the physical machine cluster to serve the pressure test on the intranet services.
For another example, in case of a cloud server cluster, multiple pressure engines are deployed in the cloud servers of the cloud service cluster, and a dedicated network line between each of the cloud servers and the corresponding intranet service is established, to make the communication between the cloud servers and the intranet services smooth. During the pressure test, the cloud service resources are scheduled according to the pressure peak required for the test, so as to realize the pressure on the intranet services.
Before performing the pressure test on the servers according to the above two solutions, professional technicians are required to build a physical machine cluster or cloud server cluster for testing the intranet services in advance. However, the above process is relatively complicated. For example, for the physical machine cluster, an IP address needs to be applied for each physical machine, a network between the physical machine and the intranet services is built, and a pressure engine is installed for each physical machine.
After the pressure test is completed, if the physical machines used for the pressure test are released, the physical machine cluster needs to be rebuilt when the pressure test is required next time. If the physical machines used for the pressure test are not released, the physical machine cluster will be idle, resulting in a waste of resources and a low resource usage rate.
In order to improve the resource usage rate, the embodiments of the disclosure provide a method for testing a pressure, an apparatus for testing a pressure, an electronic device and a storage medium.
The method for testing a pressure of the embodiments of the disclosure may be executed by a Cloud Container Engine (CCE).
The method for testing a pressure of the embodiments of the disclosure will be introduced below. As illustrated in
At block S101, a start command for testing pressure is received.
The CCE can receive the start command sent by a client through an Application Programming Interface (API), and the CCE provides the API for the client. When the user needs to test the intranet services, the client sends the start command to the CCE through the API. That is, it is convenient for the user to flexibly control the start of the testing, and since the client only needs to make a simple API call to send the start command, there is no need for a complex deployment, and thus the implementation is relatively simple.
At block S102, in response to the start command, a Mirror Disc File (MDF) is obtained, in which the MDF includes a pressure engine and basic configuration information.
The pressure engine in the MDF can be a self-developed or open source pressure engine, such as Jmeter, and Gatling. The basic configuration information includes development environment information supporting an operation of the pressure engine and information on intranet services to be tested.
The development environment information may include: a plug-in or a Java Development Kit (JDK) required to run the pressure engine. The information on the intranet service to be tested may include: an intranet service identifier, an intranet service Uniform Resource Locator (URL), a page to be tested provided by the intranet service, and page parameters of the page to be tested.
At block S103, a plurality of pressure containers are created based on the MDF.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, the pressure container may be a Docker container. The Docker container is an open-source application container engine, which may also be referred to as a Docker application.
The pressure container can be obtained by adding a read-write layer to the MDF. The pressure engine can run on the pressure container, and the CCE can create multiple pressure containers, to obtain a pressure container cluster composed of multiple pressure containers.
At block S104, a pressure test is performed on the intranet services by the plurality of pressure containers.
The intranet services are intranet services on which the pressure test is performed. The CCE can control multiple pressure containers to send test data to the intranet services, thereby performing the pressure test on the intranet services.
According to the method, when the start command is received, the pressure containers can be created automatically according to the MDF including the pressure engine and the pressure configuration information, and then the pressure containers can be used to perform the pressure test on the intranet services. It can be seen that, since the pressure engine in the embodiment of the disclosure is implemented by the container technology, the pressure container is created according to the MDF only when the start command is received, and there is no need to deploy in advance. Moreover, there is no need to create a pressure container when the pressure test does not need to be performed, that is, container resources will be occupied only when the pressure test is required, which avoids resource waste and improves the resource usage rate.
In an embodiment, the CCE and the pressure container are both in a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network, which is a user-defined virtual network. The network address space can be flexibly set according to actual needs, to achieve private network isolation. Therefore, virtual networks can communicate with each other in a stable, high-speed, and peer-to-peer manner.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, the pressure container cluster and the intranet services may be connected through a dedicated network line or a VPN, and the pressure container cluster and the intranet services together form a hybrid cloud, so that the communication between the pressure container cluster and the intranet services is smooth and the information transmission is secure.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, S103 may include: determining a first number of pressure containers based on a peak pressure and a concurrent number supported by single pressure container; and creating the first number of pressure containers based on the MDF.
The peak pressure is the maximum concurrent number when testing the intranet services. The concurrent number refers to the number of connections that transmit data to the intranet services at the same time.
The concurrent numbers supported by the pressure containers of different specifications are different. The concurrent number supported by a CPU having 1G memory and 1 core is 100. Assuming that the pressure container has a CPU with 2G memory and 2 cores, the concurrent number supported by the pressure container is 200.
If the peak pressure is 10000, the first number is 10000/200=50, that is, 50 pressure containers need to be created and involved in the pressure container cluster.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, the CCE can obtain the peak pressure in the following three implementations.
In the first implementation, the basic configuration information includes the peak pressure, and the CCE can obtain the peak pressure from the basic configuration information.
In the second implementation, the CCE receives the peak pressure sent by the client before performing the pressure test.
In the third implementation, the peak pressure is stored in the device where the CCE is located in advance, and the CCE can directly obtain the pre-saved peak pressure. In the embodiment of the disclosure, a first number of copies of the MDF are made, and then a read-write layer is added to each MDF copy, to obtain the first number of pressure containers.
According to the method, since the quantity of the pressure container can be calculated according to the peak pressure, and then the CCE can create the pressure containers according to the calculated quantity, so that there will be no waste of resources. If the peak pressure of each pressure test is different, the number of pressure containers created by the CCE after receiving the start command is also different at each time, which is equivalent to the ability to automatically shrink and expand the pressure container cluster according to the change of the peak pressure. If the existing art is adopted to deploy a physical machine cluster, the performance of the physical machine cluster depends on the number of physical machines owned by the user. If the requirement exceeds the pressure capacity of the physical machines owned by the user, the user needs to continue to purchase physical machines and re-deploy the physical machine cluster, and thus the costs of machine and labor are huge. In the embodiment of the disclosure, the user does not need to care about the deployment details of the pressure containers, and the CCE can automatically create the containers according to the MDF, and thus there is no need to perform complex deployment operations manually, which reduces labor costs and flexibly meets the requirements, thereby improving the accuracy of the determined number of pressure container and improving the efficiency of pressure test.
In addition, the physical machine cluster in the related art involves a large number of software devices and hardware devices, and requires professional operation and maintenance personnel to complete the deployment of the physical machine cluster. However, in the embodiment of the disclosure, the CCE can complete an automatic deployment, and thus the usability of method of the disclosure is high.
In another embodiment of the disclosure, before executing the process of
At block S201, the pressure engine and the basic configuration information are received from a client.
When the user needs to perform the pressure test on the intranet services, the client can upload the pressure engine and the basic configuration information required for the pressure test.
At block S202, the MDF is obtained by packing the pressure engine and the basic configuration information.
At block S203, the MDF is uploaded to an MDF library.
Correspondingly, when the start command is received by the CCE, the MDF is obtained from the MDF library.
Optionally, the client can also send the packed MDF to the CCE, and then the CCE can upload the MDF to the MDF library after receiving the MDF library.
According to this method, the pressure engine and the basic configuration information are packed to obtain the MDF, and the MDF is uploaded to the MDF library. In this way, when the pressure test is required, the CCE can obtain the MDF from the MDF library at any time to create multiple containers. The MDF can be reused, and there is no need to manually install the pressure engine on each physical machine, thereby saving the labor costs. After the MDF is uploaded to the MDF library, the CCE can also manage the MDF version, which facilitates the rollback and reuse of the MDF.
In another embodiment of the disclosure, on the basis of the above embodiments, as illustrated in
At block S301, an end command for testing the pressure sent by the client through an API is received.
When the user needs to stop the pressure test, the client can send the stop command to the CCE through the API.
Optionally, during the pressure test, the user can also query the cluster state through the client, and the client can obtain the cluster state through the API, and display it to the user. The cluster state includes the number of containers included in the cluster, and the load of each container. Based on the cluster state, the user can determine whether to expand or shrink the volume of the cluster according to actual needs.
At block S302, in response to the end command, the pressure test is stopped and test result data is sent to the client.
By adopting this method, the user can stop the test in real time by operating the client, without manually stopping the test by controlling the physical machine, which can reduce labor costs and improve a test efficiency.
Optionally, after the CCE stops the pressure test, the above multiple pressure containers can be released.
If the method of deploying the physical machine cluster in the related art is adopted, the physical machines are released after the test is completed, and redeployment is required before each test, and thus the efficiency is low. If the physical machines are not released, idle resources will be wasted and the resource usage rate will be low. Compared with the related art, in the embodiment of the disclosure, the pressure containers are released after the test is completed, the container resources will not be idle, and the resource usage rate is improved. When the pressure test needs to be performed, the CCE can quickly create the pressure containers again, which can improve the resource usage rate without reducing efficiency.
As illustrated in
At block S401, the MDF is obtained by packing the pressure engine and the basic configuration information.
When the pressure test is performed, the CCE can obtain the MDF from the MDF library, thereby realizing reuse of the MDF.
At block S402, a VPC is created and a dedicated network line is built.
The dedicated network line is configured to connect the pressure container cluster and the intranet services, and a VPN can also be used to connect, so that the communication between the pressure container cluster and the intranet services can be smooth.
At block S403, the CCE deploys the pressure container cluster based on the MDF and the peak pressure.
When the CCE receives the start command, the MDF is obtained, and the pressure containers are created based on the MDF and the peak pressure. Further, the pressure container cluster is formed with the pressure containers.
At block S404, the client controls to stop the test through the API.
When the user needs to stop the test, the user can operate through the client interface. After the client recognizes the operation of stopping the test triggered by the user, it can send the stop command to the CCE through the API, and then the CCE controls the container cluster to stop sending test data to the intranet services.
At block S405, the client obtains the test result data through the API, and analyzes the intranet service performance based on the test result data.
According to this method, since the CCE can automatically deploy the pressure engine cluster, without performing deployment operation manually or based on the script, which reduces the deployment costs. The user can control the start of the test through the API when the pressure test needs to be performed, which simplifies the user operation. After the test is over, the test resources are released, which will not make the test resources idle, thereby improving the resource usage rate.
