OpenClaw DingTalk Robot Stress Testing

Stress testing determines your DingTalk robot's breaking point under extreme load. This guide covers stress testing methodologies for OpenClaw DingTalk robots.

Why Stress Testing Matters

Stress testing reveals:

• Maximum capacity: How much can you handle
• Failure points: Where does it break
• Recovery time: How fast can you recover
• Resource limits: Memory, CPU thresholds
• Data integrity: What happens to data under stress

│  Peak → Maximum Load                   │
│        ↓                                │

Load Generation

Concurrent Users

# stress/load.py
import threading
import time
from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor

class StressTest:
    
    def __init__(self, bot_endpoint):
        self.endpoint = bot_endpoint
        self.results = []
    
    def simulate_user(self, user_id, duration):
        """Simulate a single user"""
        end_time = time.time() + duration
        requests = 0
        errors = 0
        
        while time.time() < end_time:
            try:
                response = self.endpoint.send_message(
                    f"User{user_id}",
                    "Test message"
                )
                requests += 1
                
                if response.status != 200:
                    errors += 1
            except Exception as e:
                errors += 1
            
            time.sleep(1)  # Think time
        
        return {"requests": requests, "errors": errors}
    
    def run_concurrent_test(self, num_users, duration):
        """Run concurrent user test"""
        with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=num_users) as executor:
            futures = [
                executor.submit(self.simulate_user, i, duration)
                for i in range(num_users)
            ]
            
            results = [f.result() for f in futures]
        
        return self.analyze_results(results)

Resource Monitoring

System Metrics

# stress/monitor.py
import psutil

class ResourceMonitor:
    
    def __init__(self):
        self.samples = []
    
    def start_monitoring(self, interval=1):
        """Start resource monitoring"""
        self.running = True
        
        while self.running:
            sample = {
                "timestamp": time.time(),
                "cpu": psutil.cpu_percent(interval=1),
                "memory": psutil.virtual_memory().percent,
                "disk": psutil.disk_usage('/').percent,
                "network_sent": psutil.net_io_counters().bytes_sent,
                "network_recv": psutil.net_io_counters().bytes_recv
            }
            
            self.samples.append(sample)
            time.sleep(interval)
    
    def stop_monitoring(self):
        """Stop monitoring"""
        self.running = False
    
    def get_peak_usage(self):
        """Get peak resource usage"""
        return {
            "cpu": max(s["cpu"] for s in self.samples),
            "memory": max(s["memory"] for s in self.samples),
            "disk": max(s["disk"] for s in self.samples)
        }
