Use this class as a base for developing higher benchmark test classes (or a single class) which can do

1. Burst testing: (defined as concurrency = k)
2. Linearly ramped up testing (defined as y = ax)
3. Sine wave/cos wave testing (defined as y = sinx or y = cosx)
4. Exponentially ramped up testing (defined as y = e**x)

Where x => Either the # of the test (1, 2, 3 ...) or x => time
and y => number of test requests sent at a given time (approximately rps => requests per second)
