Description

Locust4j is a load generator for locust, written in Java. It's inspired by boomer and nomadacris.

It's a benchmarking library, not a general purpose tool. To use it, you must implement test scenarios by yourself.

Usage examples

• locust4j-http is a demo and a good start
• nejckorasa/locust4j-http-load is another example project

Features

• Write user test scenarios in Java
  Because it's written in Java, you can use all the things in the Java Ecosystem.

• Thread-based concurrency
  Locust4j uses threadpool to execute your code with low overhead.

Known Issues

• When stop-the-world happens in the JVM, you may get wrong response time reported to the master.
• Because of the JIT compiler, Locust4j will run faster as time goes by, which will lead to shorter response time.
