Test method and test system applied to test software

The invention relates to software test technologies, in particular to a test method and a test system applied to test software. The test method comprises: determining the number of press machines according to performance test requirements of to-be-tested software, setting one of all the press machines as a control node, and setting the rest of the press machines as pressure nodes, wherein all the pressure nodes are related with the control node to form a wide-range and distributed mode; and defining tasks and roles undertaken by the control node and the pressure nodes, and transmitting test result data to the control node, wherein the control node in such a test mechanism is only in charge of summarizing and analyzing test data from the pressure nodes, and the pressure nodes are only in charge of generating pressure flow. Therefore, the test method can enable both the control node and the pressure nodes to release a large amount of resources and simulate more virtual users.
