Gatling

Locust

Flood IO

I have to run a multi-user load test and have test scripts developed in Gatling and Locust.

I am planning to run the tests with Flood IO, as it allows us to create a custom grid. They support Gatling. Did anyone try Locust tests? I would prefer not to use multiple infra providers for running these tests!

Needs advice

I want to do performance testing with HTTP protocol but the test script should be java script. For now, I kept "Artillery" and "K6" tools in my queue. Did you guys have any idea about this? Is there any tools which support Test script language: JavaScript Protocol: Http/web service Must Feature: Record OS: Mac os/windows
