Artillery load test

Artillery is a scalable, flexible and easy-to-use platform that contains everything you need for production-grade load testing.

Installation

npm install -g artillery@latest

Example

This example shows how you can modify how Artillery selects a scenario for a virtual user during load testing. In Artillery, each VU will be assigned to one of the defined scenarios. By default, each scenario has a weight of 1, meaning each scenario has the same probability of getting assigned to a VU. By specifying a weight in a scenario, you’ll increase the chances of Artillery assigning the scenario for a VU. The probability of a scenario getting chosen depends on the total weight for all scenarios.
