The ISC Performance Lab is written for NodeJS 8+ and MongoDB 2.6+. To
allow for separation of the actual testing and the web UI the system is
split into two processes, perflab-tester and perflab-httpd. The
former runs on the same server as the server under test, whilst the
latter should be run on a separate system.
perflab-tester takes care of reading configurations and queue settings
from the database, starting tests, and recording the test results in the
database. perflab-httpd serves HTTP static content and provides a
RESTful interface to the database, and also provides a WebSocket
interface over which UI clients learn about configuration and queue
status changes in real-time and automatically update the UI in response
to those changes.
