After months of work, I want to introduce you to something new: Web Performance Legion. Legion is a new open-source research product. It’s an attempt to create a powerful load testing tool that can handle difficult and or esoteric use cases while still being easy-to-understand at its core. It’s still in the early phases of development, but if you happen to love working with Node, or you need to test a complex RESTful API, Legion might be the tool for you.<\/p>\n
Legion lets you:<\/p>\n
* Quickly describe a testcase entirely in JavaScript.
\n* Easily instrument arbitrary JavaScript functions to measure their performance.
\n* Attach setup and shutdown hooks to your testcase.
\n* Run testcases from the command line.
\n* Get results in a machine-readable JSON format.<\/p>\n
Example:<\/p>\n
.main(); If this sounds like something you’re interested in, start with our introductory guide<\/a>, the starter project<\/a>, or you can fork the source code on github<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I want to introduce you to something new: Web Performance Legion.
