Resgrid API Load Tester

Resgrid API Load Tester is a simple command line application that allows you to quickly test GET and POST http api calls. The console application also exports variables (see below) that can be picked up inside a Team City build agent. The app will give a simple report (success, failures, avg/min/max call times and total time).

Notes

Occasionally it's extremely useful to test your api calls, but not use a tool like JMeter. One use case in during development, quick run locally to ensure your API's are performing within a tolerance. It's also useful to utilize a system like Team City to Smoke Test your production or QA environments. One good test may be a small and simple load test and this is why we put this tool together.

Build the console app in release mode to prevent "Press Enter to Exit...".
