## What it is
Taurus (bzt) is an automation-friendly framework for continuous performance and functional testing that wraps tools like JMeter, Gatling, Locust, Selenium, Playwright, and k6 behind a simple YAML configuration and CLI. It provides unified execution, pass/fail criteria, and reporting (console dashboards, JUnit XML, InfluxDB, BlazeMeter) suitable for CI/CD pipelines.

## Use cases
- run load tests with jmeter from a yaml config
- automate performance testing in jenkins or ci pipelines
- run selenium tests with load profiles and pass/fail criteria
- unify gatling locust and k6 tests under one config
- generate junit xml reports from load tests
- convert existing jmeter jmx scripts to yaml
- monitor live test stats in the terminal during a load test

## When to choose
- you want a simple declarative config over complex JMeter or Gatling setups
- you need to run multiple test tools under one framework in CI/CD
- you want automated tool installation and unified reporting across executors

## When to avoid
- you need a GUI for authoring load test scripts
- you need a single specialized tool's full native feature set rather than a wrapper
- you want a hosted load-testing service without local execution
