Siege reports the total number of hits recorded, bytes transferred, response time, concurrency, and return status. Most features are configurable with command line options which also include default values to minimize the complexity of the program's invocation.
Siege allows you to stress a web server with 'n' number of users for 't' number of times, where n and t are defined by the user. It records the duration time of the test as well as the duration of each single transaction.
Siege reports the number of transactions, elapsed time, bytes transferred, response time, transaction rate, concurrency and the number of times the server responded OK, that is status code 200. Siege was designed and implemented by Jeffrey Fulmer in his position as Webmaster for Armstrong World Industries.
