(Breaks down different parts of Locustfile)

(Done in xml but provides good explanation on how working with non-HTTP clients works)

Overview

1. Create a locustfile.py
2. In the ApiUser class add test functions,
3. Testing works with try methods:

try:

    CLIENT\_SERVICE\_REQUEST

cxcept xmlrpclib.Fault as e

    events.request\_failure.fire(…) #Test Fails

else:

    events.request\_success.fire(…) #Test Succeeds

1. Both methods take 4 parameters which are inputted manually:

2. request_type

3. name

4. response_time

5. exception (for failures), response length (for success)

6. To run, make sure the server side is running on a different tab, and then input locust --host=http://example.com

7. Go to http://127.0.0.1:8089/ on your browser, and runTesting with Locust:
