What is Locust?

Locust is a versatile open-source tool designed for load testing, permitting users to specify interactions through Python scripts, enabling the simulation of millions of concurrent users on your system. Say goodbye to intricate user interfaces or cumbersome XML setups—its focus is on clear and concise coding. The tool excels in supporting distributed load testing across numerous machines, allowing for the replication of extensive simultaneous user activities. A standout feature of Locust is the ability to express all test scenarios purely in Python, which removes the hassle of dealing with complex interfaces. Installing Locust is simple, as it can be easily acquired from PyPI using pip. By utilizing Python for test definitions, users have the flexibility to tailor and enhance their load tests according to their specific requirements. Furthermore, this adaptability makes it an ideal choice for developers looking to integrate load testing seamlessly into their existing workflows.
