How can I automate load tests using Python?

You can use libraries like Locust or JMeter with Python to automate load testing. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a simple example using Locust.

Sure! Here's a basic example:

from locust import HttpUser, task, between

class MyUser(HttpUser):
    wait_time = between(1, 5)

    @task
    def load_test(self):
        self.client.get('/')

This script will simulate a user that waits between 1 to 5 seconds before making a GET request to the root URL.

How do I run this Locust script?

You can run the script by saving it as locustfile.py and then executing locust -f locustfile.py in your terminal. This will start the Locust web interface.
