Abhinav explains why developers are switching from JMeter to Locust for load testing. Locust uses Python scripts that are easier to maintain, and an Azure Load Testing extension by Lars can auto-generate Locust scripts from existing code.

Abhinav, any benefit of using Locust over JMeter?
Oh yes, definitely, Joe. So we've seen JMeter has been around for years and years, right? Locust is quite new and we are noticing the shift where more and more developers are shifting towards Locust because it's very developer-friendly, right? At the end of the day, it's Python code, so it's very easy to maintain and make edits compared to your JMeter scripts. Also from an AI standpoint, it's very easy for the AI applications to really create your local scripts as well as edit your local scripts maintenance. All of those parameters are much more easier with Locust. In fact, we also have an extension, an Azure Load Testing extension which Lars can talk about, which does exactly that. It uses AI to generate a local script for your existing code. And you can also save it in your source code repository, so it's easy to maintain.
