Performance benchmarks usually focus on things other than code coverage. It is very difficult to write a quality benchmark for a proxy, even without code coverage as a goal! One the other hand, a decent proxy benchmark has enough knobs to tickle most "interesting" code paths in Squid (or any other proxy). Web Polygraph[1] (mentioned on this thread earlier) is a good example -- you can trigger cache revalidation, simulate heavy tailed hit distributions that stress disk caching, exercise the code that handles aborted transactions, persistent connection races, etc., etc. > Or, even better, is > there a more comprehensive test suite apart from the one Squid comes with? Squid does not come with a comprehensive test suite (yet) and the tests distributed with Squid are not performance tests (a.k.a. "benchmarks"). If you are looking for functionality rather than performance testing, then there is Co-Advisor[2]. Squid is tested with Co-Advisor, but those tests have not been automated (yet).
