Appian-Locust

Overview

Appian-Locust is a tool for load and performance testing Appian using the open source Locust (https://locust.io) load driving framework. It provides an easy, programatic way to develop and execute load and performance tests for Appian.

Using the locust load testing framework allows for scaling of workloads, with both standalone and distributed execution. All tests are written in python, making them easy to read and maintain.

  • Hi,

    I am new to Appian-Locust, I have installed Appian Locust, executed a login script for Appian URL and I am getting this exception "Login unsuccessful, no multipart cookie found, only found <RequestsCookieJar[<Cookie JSESSIONID....". I checked my credentials and they are working fine when login manually. I have tried executing the same Appian URL via generic Locust and there is no such exception shown.

    Can anyone help here.

  • Hi There, We are trying to use Locust with Appian to do performance tests. We have configured the code as per the documentations provided at locust https://appian-locust.readthedocs.io/en/latest/how_to_write_locust_tests.html

    We are getting error saying it is not able to find the record type, even though we have provided the correct record types.

    Exception: There is no record type with name "XXXXXXXX" in the system under test. 

    Can you please help?
