The idea is that during a test, a swarm of locusts will attack your website or system.

Locust is an easy-to-use, distributed, user load testing tool. It is intended for load-testing web sites (or other systems) and figuring out how many concurrent users a system can handle.

* Write user test scenarios in plain-old Python
* Distributed & Scalable - supports hundreds of thousands of users
* Web-based UI
* Can test any system

Topics Covered:
* Load testing scenarios
* Alternate solutions
* Basic setup
* Testing non-http systems
* Containerizing your tests

After this session you'll be able to start writing load tests in your own environments.
