Socket-based server load test method and system

The invention discloses a socket-based server load test system. The system comprises a network engine module, a load test tool script module, a load test management module and a load test data monitoring module, wherein the network engine module is used for providing socket-based interface functions for test scripts to compile test cases: establishing connection with a tested server, sending a message to the tested server or receiving a message from the server, and providing various operation functions of virtual users; the load test tool script module is used for calling the interface functions provided by the network engine module, and combining the operations of the virtual users to obtain test cases which comprise a specific test logic; the load test management module is used for realizing a load test operation process, simulating a plurality of virtual clients through a multi-thread mechanism to execute the test cases so as to achieve the aim of concurrent test; and the load test data monitoring module i
