To be honest, I got bored trying to remember all switches and combinations of Apache’s benchmarking tool! Since I use it sort of rarely, I just wrapped it in a convenient -for me at least- app that I can use without having to remember or read anything!

This is my simple implementation of a website stress tool that uses Apache HTTP server benchmarking tool to get results for any request. Just follow the link for my github account, download, build, and use

The complete working code (and app) can be found here: https://github.com/georgekosmidis/WebStressTool
