Mahutitest

Mahutitest is an open-source software testing framework used to automate functional, performance, and reliability testing of web services and distributed systems. The project emphasizes lightweight setup, language-agnostic test authoring, and easy integration with continuous integration and delivery pipelines. Test definitions are written in a declarative format (supporting YAML and JSON) and can be extended with runtime adapters for different languages and protocols.

Architecture and features: The core runner orchestrates test scenarios, assertions, and data-driven inputs. It supports HTTP/REST, gRPC, WebSocket, MQTT, and other message-driven interfaces through pluggable protocol adapters. Tests can be run locally or on remote agents, enabling parallel execution and distributed load. Mahutitest provides a built-in reporter that generates summaries and exports results in JUnit, JSON, and HTML formats; it also integrates with OpenTelemetry and Prometheus for observability.

Usage and workflow: Users define test suites in configuration files, configure environments, and invoke the Mahutitest CLI or API. The tool can be invoked in CI pipelines to run regression tests, performance benchmarks, or chaos simulations. It supports data-driven testing and reusable test components to promote consistency across projects.

History: Mahutitest was released in 2019 as part of the Mahuti ecosystem. It has since evolved through community contributions, adding performance testing, distributed execution, and plugin-based extensibility. The project is maintained as an open-source project with contributions from individuals and organizations worldwide.
