Hello friends,
I'm working on a Thesis and right now I'm in a phase of comparing a Linux vs Windows performance in similar situations on the same machine.
I'm asking here because I would like help on this, since I've always worked in Linux as an Administrator and a user, never as a performance tester and I don't know too much about programs to measure it.
My Linux computer will be a LAMP server using Gnome as graphical interface and I'll test performance on it.
My windows might be a w server 200x, but that doesn't concern us here.
I don't know much about testing tools and performance tests, but I'm considering this:
Speed to write a big file on disk
Speed of creating high volume of small files on disk
recovery after failure (no idea how to do this test)
stability and reliability.
well, I'd like to know if anyone could help me proposing more tests I could do.
Besides, I'd like to know of a good performance testing program you'd recomend me, I googled a bit and found this webpage
Open source performance testing tools
full of test tools, but if anyone has experience with one or knows another one that might work for me, I'll gladly hear their advice.
Thanks in advance for your time, I hope you can help me with this.
Good Luck =)
