# Firegex tests
## [GO BACK](../README.md)
Tests are a quick and dirty way to check if your modification to the backend code dind't break anything.
# Running all the tests
If you are working on the same machine firegex is running on, you can just run run_tests.sh
```bash
$ ./run_tests.sh
```
It will automatically perform a general API test, Netfilter and Proxy Regex test.
You can also run tests manually:
```bash
$ ./api_test.py -h
usage: api_test.py [-h] [--address ADDRESS] --password PASSWORD
$ ./nf_test.py -h
usage: nf_test.py [-h] [--address ADDRESS] --password PASSWORD [--service_name SERVICE_NAME] [--port PORT]
[--ipv6] [--proto {tcp,udp}]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--address ADDRESS, -a ADDRESS
Address of firegex backend
--password PASSWORD, -p PASSWORD
Firegex password
--service_name SERVICE_NAME, -n SERVICE_NAME
Name of the test service
--port PORT, -P PORT Port of the test service
--ipv6, -6 Test Ipv6
--proto {tcp,udp}, -m {tcp,udp}
Select the protocol
$ ./px_test.py -h
usage: px_test.py [-h] [--address ADDRESS] --password PASSWORD [--service_name SERVICE_NAME] [--port PORT]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--address ADDRESS, -a ADDRESS
Address of firegex backend
--password PASSWORD, -p PASSWORD
Firegex password
--service_name SERVICE_NAME, -n SERVICE_NAME
Name of the test service
--port PORT, -P PORT Port of the test service
```
# Running a Benchmark
```bash
./benchmark.py
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--address ADDRESS, -a ADDRESS
Address of firegex backend
--port PORT, -P PORT Port of the Benchmark service
--internal-port INTERNAL_PORT, -I INTERNAL_PORT
Internal port of the Benchmark service
--service-name SERVICE_NAME, -n SERVICE_NAME
Name of the Benchmark service
--password PASSWORD, -p PASSWORD
Firegex password
--num-of-regexes NUM_OF_REGEXES, -r NUM_OF_REGEXES
Number of regexes to benchmark with
--duration DURATION, -d DURATION
Duration of the Benchmark in seconds
--output-file OUTPUT_FILE, -o OUTPUT_FILE
Output results csv file
--num-of-streams NUM_OF_STREAMS, -s NUM_OF_STREAMS
Output results csv file
--mode {netfilter,proxy}, -m {netfilter,proxy}
Type of filtering
```
Benchmarks let you evaluate the performance of the filters. You can run one by typing in a shell ```test.py -p FIREGEX_PASSWORD -r NUM_OF_REGEX -d BENCHMARK_DURATION -m proxy``` to benchmark the Proxy based regex filter, or ``` -m netfilter ``` to benchmark the Netfilter based regex filtering.
It uses iperf3 to benchmark the throughput in MB/s of the server, both with filters, without filters, and for each new added regex. It will automatically add a new random regex untill it has reached NUM_OF_REGEX specified in the arguments.
You will find a new benchmark.csv file containg the results.
# Firegex Performance Results
The test was performed on:
- Bedrock Linux 0.7.27 Poki x86_64
- Intel i5-7200U (4) @ 3.100GHz
- 8GB RAM DDR4 2133 MT/s
Command: `./benchmark.py -p testpassword -r 50 -d 1 -s 60`
