###Running Requires multi-mechanize. There's currently two tests:
-
reddit_read - read-only tests for /all/* lists
-
reddit_write - performs r/w load on a particular comment thread with a number of simultaneous logged-in users, including comments, upvotes, and downvotes
$ multimech-run reddit_read
###Reddit configuration There's a few .ini file tweaks necessary to make your load tests run smoothly:
- disable registration captcha - allows automated registration (now default in reddit)
- disable rate limiting - for obvious reasons
