What is Locust?

Locust io

It is a load testing framework that allows you to write tests in actual code in your own choice of language.

How do I use Locust in python?

Locust

Python is the only official client for the load tests. You can find the docs for writing locustfile aka tests. This most basic example of how to write a test and build it for using it with the Locust Operator.

Example Test This test creates two tasks that are weighted differently so task foo will be called more often. The tasks will sleep for 1 second and then fire a success or failure.

Rio Config This freestyle build will compile the tests and add them to the path the docker build will use to add it to the container.

Docker build This will build a container used for load testing in. The key part of this is the dir path that the tests are put into. This will be used in the locust operator config

Example Operator config This example config will run this test for 2 minutes. The testContainer is the container built by the rio container build here.
