How to Perform Simple Load Testing with loadtest

Install the loadtest module globally on your machine:

npm install -g loadtest

A few scripts have been added to the package.json file to run specific tests in three different environments:

npm run loadtest:local runs a load test against your local dev server (and the development database) - you will need to start the node server first with npm start from the project root directory.
npm run loadtest:dev runs a load test against the development environment and development server.
npm run loadtest:prod runs a load test agains the production environment

You may want to adjust the load testing parameters by modifying some of the options as documented here.
