##Twilio Endpoint Load tester

The goal of the script is to load test your twilio endpoint, just like a simple ab tester. You can pass json data to the endpoint (both valid and invalid) and see how it utilizes resources and get an estimate of costs of using twilio with high load. For e.g. You can send 5000 invalid requests and see how your server utilizes its resources (does it flood the log files, emails, database, costs of receiving/replying etc).

In order to run the script, make a copy of the sample ini files and then run

$ go build tw_load.go
$ ./tw_load -f ./tw_load.ini -d ./tw_data.ini

Once completed, it will print the results of the load testing along with costs of sending/receiving messages (sample response below)

###Config INI Contains information such as account token, load factors. Check ini files for more documentation.

###Data INI Contains data that needs to be sent to the endpoint. Check ini files for more documentation.

###Tests To run tests, make a copy of the sample ini files and then adjust values. Then run go test -v

###TODO

• Remove the data ini file and instead choose a simple file format (txt) by having each line as a json data row. We can then distribute data across the requests
