For J2E code, I've used SilkPerformer, LoadRunner and JMeter for concurrency testing of threads. They all do the same thing. Basically, they give you a relatively simple interface for administrating their version of the proxy server, required, in order to analyze the TCP/IP data stream, and simulate multiple users making simultaneous requests to your app server. The proxy server can give you the ability to do things like analyze the requests made, by presenting the whole page and URL sent to the server, as well as the response from the server, after processing the request.

您可以在不安全的http模式下找到一些错误，在这种模式下，您至少可以分析正在发送的表单数据，并为每个用户系统地更改表单数据。但真正的测试是在https(安全套接字层)中运行。然后，您还必须有系统地修改会话和cookie数据，这可能有点复杂。

在测试并发性时，我发现的最好的错误是，当我发现开发人员在登录时依赖Java垃圾收集来关闭登录时建立的到LDAP服务器的连接请求。这导致用户暴露在其他用户的会话中，当试图分析服务器瘫痪时发生了什么，几乎每隔几秒钟就能完成一次事务时，结果非常令人困惑。

In the end, you or someone will probably have to buckle down and analyze the code for blunders like the one I just mentioned. And an open discussion across departments, like the one that occurred, when we unfolded the problem described above, are most useful. But these tools are the best solution to testing multi-threaded code. JMeter is open source. SilkPerformer and LoadRunner are proprietary. If you really want to know whether your app is thread safe, that's how the big boys do it. I've done this for very large companies professionally, so I'm not guessing. I'm speaking from personal experience.

提醒一句:理解这些工具确实需要一些时间。这不是简单地安装软件并启动GUI的问题，除非您已经接触过多线程编程。我试图确定需要理解的3个关键领域(表单、会话和cookie数据)，希望至少从理解这些主题开始，可以帮助您集中精力快速获得结果，而不必通读整个文档。

确实很难!在我的(c++)单元测试中，我按照使用的并发模式将其分解为几个类别:

Unit tests for classes that operate in a single thread and aren't thread aware -- easy, test as usual. Unit tests for Monitor objects (those that execute synchronized methods in the callers' thread of control) that expose a synchronized public API -- instantiate multiple mock threads that exercise the API. Construct scenarios that exercise internal conditions of the passive object. Include one longer running test that basically beats the heck out of it from multiple threads for a long period of time. This is unscientific I know but it does build confidence. Unit tests for Active objects (those that encapsulate their own thread or threads of control) -- similar to #2 above with variations depending on the class design. Public API may be blocking or non-blocking, callers may obtain futures, data may arrive at queues or need to be dequeued. There are many combinations possible here; white box away. Still requires multiple mock threads to make calls to the object under test.

题外话:

在我所做的内部开发人员培训中，我教授了并发的支柱和这两种模式，作为思考和分解并发问题的主要框架。显然还有更先进的概念，但我发现这组基础知识可以帮助工程师摆脱困境。正如上面所描述的，它还会导致代码更具单元可测试性。

一个简单的测试模式可以用于一些(不是所有!)用例，就是多次重复相同的测试。例如，假设你有一个方法:

def process(input):
    # Spawns several threads to do the job
    # ...
    return output

创建一堆测试:

process(input1) -> expect to return output1
process(input2) -> expect to return output2
...

现在将每个测试运行多次。

如果流程的实现包含一个微小的错误(例如死锁、竞态条件等)，出现的概率为0.1%，那么运行1000次测试，则该错误至少出现一次的概率为64%。运行测试10000次，得到>99%的概率。

等待在帮助您编写确定性单元测试时也很有用。它允许您等待系统中的某个状态更新。例如:

await().untilCall( to(myService).myMethod(), greaterThan(3) );

or

await().atMost(5,SECONDS).until(fieldIn(myObject).ofType(int.class), equalTo(1));

它还支持Scala和Groovy。

await until { something() > 4 } // Scala example

您可以使用EasyMock。使测试实例线程安全

我喜欢编写两个或多个测试方法在并行线程上执行，并且每个方法都调用被测对象。我一直在使用Sleep()调用来协调来自不同线程的调用顺序，但这并不真正可靠。它也慢得多，因为你必须睡足够长的时间，时间通常是有效的。

我从编写FindBugs的同一组中找到了多线程TC Java库。它允许您在不使用Sleep()的情况下指定事件的顺序，而且它是可靠的。我还没试过。

这种方法的最大限制是它只允许您测试您怀疑会引起麻烦的场景。正如其他人所说，您确实需要将多线程代码隔离到少量简单类中，以便有希望彻底测试它们。

一旦您仔细测试了您预计会导致问题的场景，那么在类中抛出一堆并发请求的不科学测试是寻找意外问题的好方法。

更新:我已经玩了一些多线程TC Java库，它工作得很好。我还将它的一些特性移植到一个。net版本，我称之为TickingTest。
