Arthera performance testing tool

Stress test and measure the performance of an Arthera network.

Build instructions

Just run make to create the build/txgen binary.

Instructions for running:

1. Generate some fake accounts. This will create a folder called keys_txgen that will have the private keys of the generated fake accounts:

./build/txgen fakeaccs

2. Update the txgen.toml config file with:
   • ChainId - the chain id of the Arthera chain you want to connect to
   • Payer - the address of the Arthera account that will pay for the transactions
   • URLs - a list of WebSocket urls to connect to
3. Import the payer key from your node data dir to the local folder keys_txgen:

./build/txgen importacc 0x0c08A529D58152A01d20b46B28DEEB7a4075104A ~/.arthera/keystore "fakepassword"

5. Init fake account balances with funds from the payer account:

./build/txgen initbalance

6. Run the transfer TPS test:

./build/txgen transfers

7. Run the contract calls TPS test:

./build/txgen calls

The tool will print the average TPS while running, and it will run indefinitely until you stop it with Ctrl+C.
