Locust is a versatile and powerful tool designed to streamline the process of load testing by automating the simulation of user behavior and performance testing across web applications and APIs. It enables developers and operators to define test scenarios in code, ensuring consistent and reproducible performance evaluations.

Features of Locust:

• Locust supports testing across various platforms, allowing users to simulate HTTP requests, WebSocket connections, and more, to test web applications, APIs, and other services.
• Locust enables test scenarios to be written as Python code, making it highly customizable and adaptable to different use cases, while also supporting integration with version control and automation systems.
• Locust promotes scalable and distributed load testing by allowing tests to be run on multiple machines simultaneously, enabling users to simulate large numbers of concurrent users with ease.
• Locust provides a web-based user interface that allows for real-time monitoring and control of tests, offering detailed insights into system performance and potential bottlenecks.
