It works by using some standard GNU commands including dd, rm and md5sum and iterates over er the filesizes in https://github.com/futures/ff-fixtures/blob/master/random_sizes.data in order to create one file of the given size in megabyte.
In order to create the binary test data set checkout the project https://github.com/futures/ff-jmeter-madness first:
git clone https://github.com/futures/ff-jmeter-madness
then init and update the submodules:
git submodule init && git submodule update
this will checkout the submodule fixtures containing the script create_random_data.sh.
Switch to the fixtures subdirectory:
cd fixtures
and run the script:
./create_random_data.sh
this will create the directory objects/random and, using dd, create the random binaries as objects/random/random_N.data.
Additionally a file manifest-md5.xml is generated which is employed by the JMeter tests to find the random binaries for uploading them via HTTP requests
Now you can fire up JMeter and open the JMX file containing the test plan.
