Scripts we use that may be helpful for others when stress testing with Locust.io
Right now there is only one test template, "simple_stress_single_page_with_args_from_csv" which stress tests a host with URLs provided from a CSV. Because of the way this test is set up it is meant to be used when you are hitting essentially one page with many different arguments or parameters.
Just pip install locust (a virtualenv is recommended)
Place a .csv containing the URL path and parameters in the same directory as the test locustfile.
Call locust --host and provide the hostname as the arguent. This may require sudo on *nix system so the rlimit can be increased.
Example:
locust --host https://example.com
