Open Source Load Testing Tools

Vegeta is a versatile HTTP load testing tool built out of a need to drill HTTP services with a constant request rate. It can be used both as a command line utility and a library. You can install Vegeta using the Homebrew package manager on Mac OS X. Both the library and the CLI are versioned with SemVer v2.0.0. After v8.0.0, the two components are versioned separately to better isolate breaking changes to each. CLI releases are tagged with cli/vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH and published on the Github releases page. As for the library, new versions are tagged with both lib/vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH and vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. The latter tag is required for compatibility with go mod. The JSON format makes integration with programs that produce targets dynamically easier. Each target is one JSON object in its own line. The method and url fields are required. If present, the body field must be base64 encoded. The generated JSON Schema defines the format in detail.

Locust is an open source user load testing tool written in Python. The idea behind Locust is to swarm your web site or other systems with attacks from simulated users during a test, with each user behavior defined by you using Python code. This swarming process is then monitored from a web UI in real-time, and will help identify any bottlenecks in your code before real users can come in. As it is completely event-based, Locust can have thousands or even millions of simultaneous users distributed over multiple machines swarming your system. Unlike other event-based apps, it doesn’t use callbacks but uses lightweight processes instead, so you can write very expressive scenarios in Python without complicating it with callbacks.
