Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Supports load testing and functional (assert) testing of APIs, message brokers, ecommerce systems, etc. Supports HTTP, WebSockets, Socket.io, HLS, file uploads, and other protocols via plugins. Reports p50, p95, p99, min and max. CI/CD runners to conduct continuous testing. Test scenarios written in code. Open source + cloud platform for distributed tests.

Tradeoffs

Can integrate with Playwright for headless browser testing, but this is experimental and the primary use case is backend testing.
