Checking Response Text and Time

Overview

Here we can see a snippet that checks for the word "Success" in a response, and then generates a failure if its taken more than half a second to reply.

This is useful as it shows an example of monitoring the actual timings around a response. With LoadForge you can parse the content that comes back, read headers, monitor timings and more.

This test will report failures in your LoadForge test when anything is slow.

Code

import time
from locust import HttpUser, task, between

class QuickstartUser(HttpUser):
    wait_time = between(3, 5)

    @task(1)
    def index_page(self):        
        with self.client.get("/", catch_response=True) as response:
            if response.text != "Success":
                response.failure("Got wrong response")
            elif response.elapsed.total_seconds() > 0.5:
                response.failure("Request took too long")
