    Dependencies

    Dependencies

    A rewrite of the old legacy software "depends.exe" in C# for Windows

    Dependencies is a rewrite of the legacy software Dependency Walker which was shipped along Windows SDKs, but whose development stopped around 2006. Dependencies can help Windows developers troubleshooting their dll load dependencies issues. Dependencies is currently shipped as two binaries (no installer present) : Dependencies.exe as a CLI tool and DependenciesGui.exe for its GUI counterpart (see screenshot). Just click on one of the release numbers above (preferably the latest), download and uncompress the archive and run DependenciesGui.exe. Since the binary is not signed, SmartScreen might scream at runtime. Dependencies also bundle ClrPhTester.exe, a dumpbin-like executable used to test for non-regressions. Dependencies currently does not recursively resolve child imports when parsing a new PE since it can be really memory-hungry to do so ( it can over a GB even for "simple" PEs ).

    PerfView

    PerfView is a CPU and memory performance-analysis tool

    PerfView is a free performance analysis tool that helps isolate CPU and memory-related performance issues. It is a Windows tool, but it also has some support for analyzing data collected on Linux machines. It works for a wide variety of scenarios, but has a number of special features for investigating performance issues in code written for the .NET runtime. If you are unfamiliar with PerfView, there are PerfView video tutorials. Also, Vance Morrison's blog gives an overview and getting started information. PerfView is built on a library called Microsoft.Diagnostics.Tracing.TraceEvent, which knows how to both collect and parse Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) data. Thus if there is any information that PerfView collects and processes that you would like to manipulate yourself programmatically, you would probably be interested in the TraceEvent Library Documentation.

    Karate

    Karate

    Test automation made simple

    Karate is the only open-source tool to combine API test-automation, mocks, performance-testing and even UI automation into a single, unified framework. The BDD syntax popularized by Cucumber is language-neutral, and easy for even non-programmers. Assertions and HTML reports are built-in, and you can run tests in parallel for speed. There’s also a cross-platform stand-alone executable for teams not comfortable with Java. You don’t have to compile code. Just write tests in a simple, readable syntax, carefully designed for HTTP, JSON, GraphQL and XML. And you can mix API and UI test-automation within the same test script. A Java API also exists for those who prefer to programmatically integrate Karate’s rich automation and data-assertion capabilities. It is worth pointing out that JSON is a ‘first class citizen’ of the syntax such that you can express payload and expected data without having to use double-quotes and without having to enclose JSON field names in quotes.

    sysbench

    sysbench

    Scriptable database and system performance benchmark

    sysbench is a scriptable multi-threaded benchmark tool based on LuaJIT. It is most frequently used for database benchmarks, but can also be used to create arbitrarily complex workloads that do not involve a database server. extensive statistics about rate and latency is available, including latency percentiles and histograms. Low overhead even with thousands of concurrent threads. sysbench is capable of generating and tracking hundreds of millions of events per second. New benchmarks can be easily created by implementing pre-defined hooks in user-provided Lua scripts. Can be used as a general-purpose Lua interpreter as well, simply replace #!/usr/bin/lua with #!/usr/bin/sysbench in your script. Execute events for this many seconds with statistics disabled before the actual benchmark run with statistics enabled. This is useful when you want to exclude the initial period of a benchmark run from statistics.

Guide to Open Source Performance Testing Software

Open source performance testing software is a type of software that helps developers evaluate the speed, scalability, and stability of their applications in real-world situations. The open source version generally means there are no restrictions on the use or distribution of this software, allowing developers to use it for free without worrying about copyright and licensing issues. Performance testing tools can help measure a wide range of characteristics such as response time, throughput, resource usage, error rate, and more.

These tools are used by developers to troubleshoot hardware problems or analyze code changes that might have an impact on performance. They can also be used for load testing where server load is increased to determine how well systems handle high levels of stress. Furthermore, these tools can help identify bottlenecks in order to provide meaningful feedback on developing an efficient system architecture. Additionally they may be used in regression testing where scenarios with multiple test conditions are set up to check if changes made still produce expected results under different loads.

Performance tests can also act as a great starting point when implementing optimization strategies – actual results will give clear indication as to which elements need improvement; some areas may even require refactoring or reworking the code entirely in order make sure application stays performant when exposed to extreme loads over time. Some common open source performance testers include Apache JMeter and LoadRunner by HP amongst others that vary from simple cli scripts up through sophisticated gui-driven ones for more complex tasks; most often these packages come pre-packaged with other development tools such as IDEs that integrate easily within current development processes freeing large chunks of time for actual coding rather than setting up scripts manually each time something needs tested out prior deployment into production environment. There are even cloud based services available now allowing developers further options when working remotely between teams -allowing remote collaboration from anywhere around the world enabling faster product deployment cycles without sacrificing quality control standards during process ensuring reliability every step along way regardless exactly who works on project taking all worry out team management while providing simplified way track progress via single interface where absolutely everybody involved always knows what’s going on at any moment thus improving overall workflow efficiency considerably reducing lead times required get products out before competition takes advantage ever changing market landscape paving way success companies brave enough embrace latest technological advancements realize their full potential becoming leaders industry space

Getting started with open source performance testing software can be a relatively straightforward process, but it helps to have some intermediate-level technical knowledge. First and foremost, users should choose the right tool for their needs, since not all open source performance testing tools are built equally. After selecting an appropriate tool, users will need to download and install that program on their machine. With most open source tools, the installation is fairly simple and often includes a few configuration steps in order to get up and running.

Once your system is configured for performance testing with an open source program, users can begin by creating tests that simulate real world conditions, such as large amounts of concurrent users performing certain tasks or resources being called from remote locations. This requires an understanding of scripting languages like JavaScript or Python - though some programs feature pre-scripted tests so this step may be optional depending on the user's level of expertise. Once these scripts are written and configured correctly, they should then be executed so that data sets can be collected throughout the test runs.

Finally, analysis of this data set is key when it comes to pinpointing any potential bottlenecks or areas of improvement within your system under load - during which time you can adjust protocol protocols accordingly if necessary. It's important to note that while an open source performance testing program can provide a useful snapshot of system performance, users should also seek out feedback from colleagues and other professionals in order to ensure the most thorough analysis possible.
