If you are bored with using old fashioned Java GUI to test the performance of your applications, then you should try Locust. Jmeter , which is old fashioned as I mentioned, is very mature and used by a big community but you have create your test case with an ugly GUI as much features as allows you. For me the best part of Locust is that you can write your test case with Python which is my favourite language and it is very simple to learn. The installation is very simple, you just need to type: > pip install locustio Some feature / deficiency of Locust: You can write your test case in Python You can define the user time consumption on a page with min_wait and max_wait as milliseconds in locust class so that get a real user simulation. You can give weight for each test cases so you can simulate real user behaviours like during a specific period of time: 1 person signs up, 10 persons login, 60 persons visit pages, ... You can make http request as you
Not a feature, but the future of an app is under testing.
