What is Taurus?

Taurus is an open source test automation tool that extends and abstracts JMeter. Taurus aim at providing a more user friendly way at creating and reading your scripts in the form of YAML/JSON, making scripts versioning easier.

It can also be integrated with a cloud service like Blazemeter and can also be setup as part of your CI/CD using Jenkins or any continuous integration tool.

Taurus provides a simple way to create, run and analyze performance tests.

Some advantages:

  • Very easy to setup and run your first test

  • Taurus can execute existing JMeter tests (.jmx)

  • Taurus can also be used to execute Grinder, Gatling and Selenium tests

  • Real time reporting during test execution

  • Can be integrated with load cloud service like blazemeter

  • Taurus provides a converter (JMX2YAML) to improve readability of performance script in a .yaml format
