Locust Reviews & Product Details

1. The versatile nature of the tool. In a sense, that we can simulate complex scenarios in load tests.

2. Locust is widely used, and so it has an extensive online support group.

3. Ramping up and down the user concurrency is valuable and easy to do.

4. Reports are intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Some obvious and essential things are not supported, like, for instance, if we want to ensure that some data is unique across the locust slaves. Locust doesn't have an easy way to do that and needs complex solution implementation to solve the problem.

2. Minor concern, but I hate that the locust load test charts are not persistent, and page refresh leads the charts to reset. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. We can write API test cases in plain python code

2. Support master-slave load testing

3. It will do load test continuously without stopping

4. Sleek web UI to see the test results.

5. Open source load test tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. It does have web UI support to add API test case

2. Not for QA, Well suited for developers who wrote code and do load testing

3. Built using python language, you won't be getting extensive IO operations in python compared to like node and go language Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Locust is open source, very easy to set up and use. Locust can be used to test almost anything.

It is very scalable and works in a distributed environment.

It has simple documentation and can use

basic programming skills for testing initially. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All things need to be done manually; there is nothing like capture or save. Minimal programming skills are required. Also, you need to understand some concepts of HTTP if you are using Postman. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its very light and takes less memory as compared to other open source tools like jmeter Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UI could be improved and can be made more informative for those who want to use UI instead of command line Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part about Locust is that it is straightforward to set up, as it is used to test anything, which means we can try anything. It has simple documentation and can be used as basic programming skills for testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using this for the past few months. The only thing that I dislike is that all items are done manually rest all is perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Locust has the easiest way I've seen to just load your application and load test it. A simple interface gives different parameters such as number of users and it just runs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much. There is a little bit of a learning curve if you decide to use the CLI, though, but that's because it has so many options to run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The simple interface that allows us to run multiple load testing experiments at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there were more extensions for APIs and SDKs. For example, if there was a built in module for connected to a AWS SageMaker endpoint that would be great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great reports. Relatively easy to setup. Super useful and easy to interpret graphs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The clean, simple UI, telling you how many users are being simulated, along with the graph of metric timings Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it is a bit too simple, need more granularity occasionally Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to setup.

Best for automating test cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
