Introduction

Why Mite?

The name Mite

WIP, We need to add the story of the name.

Load Testing framework

Mite is an open-source load testing framework with distributed components written in Python. Requests are executed asynchronously, allowing large throughput from relatively small infrastructure. The philosophy driving the effort was simple:

1. Scalability: The apps that we test are scalable, distributed systems; our performance testing framework should be as well.

2. Maintainability: As software engineers, we have a full arsenal of information organization and reuse techniques. We should treat our performance tests as code, and bring these same techniques to bear.

3. Snakiness: Python is the best language for us to accomplish our goals for the project.

NEED MORE

Need more on philosophy, on test as code and on being asynchronous
