Features#
Run a sequence of activities in one or more parallel sessions.
Can be used for testing, benchmarking, load testing, or to generate test data.
The most common use case is to run a test script with HTTP commands against a web server, simulating a bunch of parallel user sessions.
A monitor GUI is available to view live progress of running sesssions.
Comes with prebuilt activities for HTTP-request and more, but can be extended by custom activity-plugins.
This is a command line tool that runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows…
… and a library for use in custom Python projects.
