Benchmark capabilities

It would be cool and handy to have some benchmark capabilities, like ab or wrk directly embedded in yaak.

Not sure if it goes beyond the aim of the tool, but I just had the use case where I have a request from the browser that I’d like to run some performance benchmarks.

I went to Google Chrome, copy request as Curl, and ask chatgpt to provide wrk or abcommand (since I did not want to think about it). I was thinking that in Yaak importing a request from curl is really handy, thus, I was just wondering if this would be a use-case to be supported natively or via a plugin or special shortcut/command.

I think the main parameters for the basic functionality would be:

  • number of threads (e.g by default CPU count)

  • concurrent requests (e.g 250)

  • timeout (e.g 30 seconds)

  • number of seconds OR number of requests (e.g run for 10 seconds by default)

Maybe a plugin to do this via ab or wrk and report the results of such tools in text is more suitable...
