      What reviewers say

      One of the best load testing framework

      3.5

      “1. The versatile nature of the tool. In a sense, that we can simulate complex scenarios in load tests. 2. Locust is widely used, and so it has an extensive online support group. 3. Ramping up and down the user concurrency is valuable and easy to do. 4. Reports are intuitive.”

      Locust-Best at Load Testing

      4.5

      “Locust is open source, very easy to set up and use. Locust can be used to test almost anything. It is very scalable and works in a distributed environment. It has simple documentation and can use basic programming skills for testing initially.”
