Explanation and disclaimer:  
RWB is a web load/performance testing library currently being  
developed. It is already capable of supporting many testing needs,  
but is not yet completely functional.

While I was puttering on the bus this morning, I implemented  
graphing performance quartiles by URL. It’s not quite where I  
want it, but I thought I’d toss out a quick example to see if  
other folks liked where it was heading, or had suggestions to  
improve it.

– Total Requests: 1000  
Total time for testing: 10.109162 secs  
Requests per second: 98.9201676657274  
Mean time per request: 104 msecs  
Standard deviation: 68  
[http://localhost](http://localhost):  
0:[|–±–|] :1000  
[http://localhost/nonesuch:](http://localhost/nonesuch:)  
0:|–+| ] :1000  
[http://localhost/entries:](http://localhost/entries:)  
0:|–±-| ] :1000  
[http://localhost:3000/search?:](http://localhost:3000/search?:)  
0: |–±-| ] :1000

The next release (0.3.0) which will include the above, should also  
include GET/PUT specification, cookie handling, and a set\_up  
method to allow the test to log in, start a session, etc.

thanks,  
-pate
