This project is a command-line utility designed for HTTP load testing and network stress testing. It functions as a benchmarking tool that generates high volumes of concurrent traffic to evaluate the performance, reliability, and throughput capacity of web applications and APIs under sustained load.
The tool allows for precise control over traffic generation by enabling users to configure request parameters, including custom headers, authentication credentials, and specific HTTP methods. It manages load through a worker-pool system that regulates request frequency, allowing for both time-bound tests and fixed-request benchmarking to observe system behavior under varying levels of network demand.
Upon completion of a test, the utility performs statistical aggregation to report performance metrics such as response latency, distribution percentiles, and success rates. These results can be exported into structured formats to facilitate the analysis of server infrastructure and the identification of performance bottlenecks.
The software is distributed as a static binary, ensuring consistent execution across different operating systems and computing environments.
