Testing

Unit Testing

• Run python -m unittest tests/unit_testing.py to run the unit tests.

Load Testing

• Load testing can be done using Locust, a load testing tool that allows you to simulate users querying the API and measure the performance of the API under load from numerous users.
• It is possible to configure the number of users, the hatch rate, and the time to run the test for.

Running the load test

• Start the FastAPI server using uvicorn main:app (or ./start_local.sh )
• Load testing using Locust (locust -f tests/locust_test.py --host http://127.0.0.1:8000 ) using a different terminal
