Artillery: Distributed Load Testing

Artillery extension for Visual Studio Code for test script intellisense, validation, and running your load tests directly from the IDE.

Installation

Install the extension from Visual Studio Marketplace.

Features

Intellisense

When writing test scripts with this extension installed, you can browse the list of all available test script options at any point in time. Take advantage of on-the-fly validation to write tests faster and avoid mistakes.

Tip: Use CTRL+SPACE at any point to show all available options at that level of the script.

Explore existing test scripts by hovering at any of its properties to get a short description, examples, and links to the documentation to learn more.

Inline test runs

Open any Artillery test script and click the "▶ Run locally" link at the top of the file to run that script in Visual Studio Code. This will spawn a new terminal and run the current test script using Artillery CLI.

Alternatively, open the Command Palette (Win: CTRL+SHIFT+P; MacOS: CMD+SHIFT+P) and choose the "Run load test locally" command from the Artillery Extension.

We don't currently support providing custom CLI options to the spawned Artillery commands.
