Developer Experience

✅ Comprehensive documentation ✅ Quick start guide ✅ Makefile with intuitive targets ✅ Shell script runner ✅ Environment configuration ✅ Setup validation ✅ Modular architecture ✅ Reusable utilities

Quick Start

# Navigate to locust directory
cd load-tests/locust

# Validate setup
python validate_setup.py

# Install dependencies
make install

# Run smoke test
make smoke

# Or start web UI
make web
# Open http://localhost:8089

Common Commands

# Using Make
make help            # Show all commands
make smoke           # Quick validation (2 min)
make load            # Load test (10 min)
make stress          # Stress test (15 min)
make spike           # Spike test (5 min)
make user-journey    # User journey scenario
make admin-workflow  # Admin workflow scenario
make web             # Start web UI
make distributed     # Distributed testing
make clean           # Clean results

# Using Shell Script
./run-tests.sh smoke
./run-tests.sh load --headless
./run-tests.sh web
./run-tests.sh distributed
./run-tests.sh help

Distributed Testing

For high-scale testing (1000+ users):

# Start master + 4 workers
make distributed

# Access web UI at http://localhost:8089

# Scale workers
docker-compose up -d --scale locust-worker=8

# Stop all
make stop-distributed

Performance Thresholds Configured

Custom Metrics Tracked

• Authentication failures
• Rate limit hits (429 responses)
• WebSocket connections/failures
• Document uploads/failures
• Queries with/without citations
• Response times by category (auth, chat, admin, websocket)

Test Data Configured

Test Users (10 users)

• 7 Regular users (user1-7@test.com)
• 2 Power users (poweruser1-2@test.com)
• 1 Admin user (admin@test.com)

Sample Queries (25+ queries)

• 5 Simple queries (basic medical questions)
• 5 Moderate queries (detailed medical scenarios)
• 5 Complex queries (multi-condition patient cases)
• 3 Multi-turn conversations (follow-up questions)

Test Documents (3 sizes)

• Small: ~4KB text
• Medium: ~40KB text
• Large: ~400KB text
