Gatling is an awesome modern load-testing framework written in Scala with asyncronous actors. It's been designed by the folks at Excilys and had been gaining some attention recently.
There a few ways you can get started with Gatling:
- bundle tarball
- maven plugin or achetype
- Scala build tool
Each of these has it's pros and cons, so I have figured yet another way that is meant to be quite easy.
