Let's test the replication functionality using a benchmark tool pgbench, which comes with the standard PostgreSQL installation. Type following to create the benchmark tables.
$ pgbench -i -p 11000 test
To see if the replication works correctly, directly connect to the primary and the standby server to see if they return identical results.
$ psql -p 11002 test
\dt
List of relations
Schema | Name | Type | Owner
--------+------------------+-------+---------
public | pgbench_accounts | table | t-ishii
public | pgbench_branches | table | t-ishii
public | pgbench_history | table | t-ishii
public | pgbench_tellers | table | t-ishii
(4 rows)
\q
$ psql -p 11003 test
\dt
List of relations
Schema | Name | Type | Owner
--------+------------------+-------+---------
public | pgbench_accounts | table | t-ishii
public | pgbench_branches | table | t-ishii
public | pgbench_history | table | t-ishii
public | pgbench_tellers | table | t-ishii
(4 rows)
The primary server (port 11002) and the standby server (port 11003) return identical results. Next, let's run pgbench for a while and check to results.
$ pgbench -p 11000 -T 10 test
starting vacuum...end.

$ psql -p 11002 -c "SELECT sum(abalance) FROM pgbench_accounts" test
sum
--------
192112
(1 row)
$ psql -p 11003 -c "SELECT sum(abalance) FROM pgbench_accounts" test
sum
--------
192112
(1 row)
Again, the results are identical.
