Locust.io is a popular Python based open-source load testing tool that allows developers to simulate user traffic on their websites or applications.
Locust comes with several parameters to let you shape the amount of load it produces. It also gives you the ability to customize load shapes, which enables developers to create more realistic test scenarios for many use cases.
In this post, we will explore all of these options and look at some examples using tests run with Locust on the Testable platform.
