What are the best practices for using Locust for load testing?

When using Locust for load testing, it's important to define clear test objectives, use realistic user scenarios, and monitor system performance.

How can I simulate different user behaviors in Locust?

You can simulate different user behaviors by creating multiple task sets and using the @task decorator to define various user actions.

What should I consider when setting up my test environment?

Ensure your test environment mirrors production as closely as possible, including network conditions and server configurations.

How do I analyze the results after a load test?

You can analyze results by looking at metrics like response times, request failures, and throughput, and using Locust's built-in web interface for visualization.
