Locust is an open source load testing and web server benchmarking tool.[2] It is written in Python and was originally created by Jonatan Heyman[3] in 2011.[4]

Tests can be executed in a single process or in a scalable way on multiple machines.[5] It can test HTTP based services[6], but can also be extended to test most other protocols, including for example XML-RPC and gRPC.[7][8]

Unlike many other load testing tools, test scenarios are expressed imperatively in regular code, not created in a UI or expressed as configuration.[9][10]
