Steps to Stress Test Your API Using Locust

1. Install Locust

Install Locust using pip:

CopybashCopy codepip install locust

2. Write a Locust Test Script

Create a locustfile.py with the following content:

Copyfrom locust import HttpUser, task, between

class LoginUser(HttpUser):
    wait_time = between(1, 2)  # Simulates user waiting time between tasks

    # Specify the base host for the API
    host = "https://api.hwork.ph"

    @task
    def login(self):
        self.client.post("/auth/login", json={
            "email": "[email protected]",
            "password": "password"
        })

• Replace /auth/login with the endpoint of your API.

• Update the email and password values to match your test credentials.
