About:
Taurus is an open-source test automation framework that simplifies and enhances the execution of performance tests. It provides a concise YAML or JSON syntax to define test scenarios, abstracting the complexity of underlying tools like JMeter, Gatling, or Locust. It serves as a wrapper, allowing users to run tests and analyze results without writing complex code.
Key Features:
  • Declarative YAML/JSON syntax for test configuration
  • Unified wrapper for popular tools (JMeter, Locust, Gatling, Selenium)
  • Real-time monitoring and reporting with built-in dashboards
  • Extensible via Python plugins
Use Cases:
  • Running quick performance tests without complex tool setup
  • Integrating performance testing into CI/CD pipelines
  • Converting existing test scripts to different formats
Alternatives:
  • Apache JMeter – JMeter is the underlying engine Taurus often uses; Taurus provides a simpler, more modern configuration syntax and easier CLI integration.
  • k6 – k6 is a modern, developer-centric tool using JavaScript; Taurus is more flexible, supporting multiple legacy and modern backends via configuration.
