Course content

4 sections • 23 lectures • 4h 38m total length

  • Basic Concept of Locust3:43

    Learn Locust, an easy to use event-based framework for performance testing in Python that lets you create scalable, distributed load tests with user scenarios and out-of-the-box analytics.

  • Setup Development Environment12:39

    Set up the complete Locust and Python development environment, install Python 3 and pip, install Locust, choose an existing interpreter, and create a sample project to run basic tasks.

  • Explanation of User, TaskSet & Sequential TaskSet16:49

    Learn how to define user and task set with sequential task set in Locust, compare random versus sequential execution, apply weight attributes for tasks, and coordinate multiple task classes.

  • Explanation on_test_start, on_test_stop, on_start, on_stop8:42

    Learn how Locust uses local state controls and event hooks, including on_test_start, on_test_stop, on_start, and on_stop, to manage when tests and users begin and end.

  • REST execution using locust HTTPUser class12:08
  • Practice with attached locust files

    practice the concepts of locust with attached locust files

Requirements

  • Basic python knowledge
