To be able to run load tests, a developer should:

• have the devstack installed with Docker Compose;
• have a valid user (required for the access token to pass to load tests, see locustfile.py for more details);
• have their IP whitelisted by the app service under test.

With devstack up and running, load testing can be configured and performed via Locust UI at http://localhost:8089/.

Ref.: https://docs.locust.io/en/stable/quickstart.html#locust-s-web-interface

The host of the Azure app service under test can be indicated in the tests configuration popup:

Command to run load tests (optional):

docker exec -it gpm-1 locust

To run locust with several workers, you can use this devstack command (example with 2 workers):

docker-compose -f docker-compose-dev.yml up --scale worker=2
