Which tool to use to perform stress testing in a server waiting for custom XMPP IQ Stanzas?

I have an application that receives some custom XMPP IQ stanzas and process these. I would like to make a stress test on it, to see how many users it can support, I searched it and found Tsung. I downloaded the package for Ubuntu and tried to install, but when I run it on the command line, I have the following error:

Config file /home/user/.tsung/tsung.xml doesn't exist, aborting !开发者_运维知识库

I tried also to download the compressed file and to compile, as explained here, but I also got an error when I run the "make" command.

Do you know any other software I could use to perform the stress test?

Thanks, Oscar

Has for the error, I add the same problem has you did. And of easy resolution if that is the only one. One would imagine that the debian package would create the /home/$USER/.tsung dir but that is not true. To solve that problem you would only need to create the directory on your home project

cd ~
mkdir .tsung

place a the file of the test (tsung.xml) in it, and run tsung start again

Has for another software I had used jab_simul, C software with a few year and with little to none documentation, But I was able to use it by following this directions But this may not solve your problem cause unless you change the code, it does not provide any custom stanzas, at least that I know off.

Tsung is good chooice and use it's jabber request with type=raw to test your custom IQ stanzas.
