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.

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")
