What is LPS Tool?
LPS (Load, Performance & Stress) is an open-source tool that makes load testing simple, readable, and powerful. Define tests in YAML — no coding needed. Run distributed tests, monitor live dashboards, and simulate real traffic with smart iteration modes. Built by a Microsoft engineer with 13+ years in API Management & Security to make enterprise-grade testing accessible to everyone.
Problem
Users conducting load, performance, and stress testing rely on tools that require coding expertise, leading to complex setup, limited accessibility, and inability to simulate real traffic scenarios for non-technical teams.
Solution
An open-source load testing tool where users can define tests in YAML without coding, run distributed tests with live dashboards, and simulate real traffic through smart iteration modes (e.g., defining API endpoints, payloads, and thresholds via YAML).
Customers
DevOps engineers, QA teams, and developers (particularly in API management and security) who need scalable, enterprise-grade testing without extensive coding.
Unique Features
YAML-based test configuration, open-source flexibility, built-in live monitoring dashboards, smart iteration modes for realistic traffic simulation, and accessibility for non-developers.
