Abstract
A hosted load generator framework provides functionality for evaluating the availability, reliability, and/or scalability of a network-based service. The framework includes a control service and a load-generating service. The control service provides a control interface through which a request to evaluate the performance of a service may be received. In response to receiving such a request, the control service determines a price for performing the load test. The control service may also cause the load test to be performed on the service under test using the load-generating service. The load-generating service is configured to perform the load test by executing load-generating instances configured to generate requests to the service under test. The load-generating instances also provide data regarding the status of the load test to the control service.
