Open Source Testing: JMeter, Gatling and Taurus

When choosing an open source testing tool, you'll find that each option has its own advantages, so the challenge is finding the best tool for your specific testing needs.

In this upcoming meetup, we'll look at software testing best-practices in general and at Gatling, a Scala-based tool used to load test web applications. We will examine Gatling’s many capabilities and primary features, and compare them to Apache JMeter. We also look at some challenges, as well as how to use Taurus, an open source automation tool, to overcome them.
