Instead of writing separate performance test scripts, you take an existing functional test case, make minor adjustments, and run it with multiple virtual users (called robots) to stress-test your application. The tool is written entirely in Python and integrates with Robot Framework's ecosystem, so if you already use Robot Framework, you have most of what you need.\n\nThe package depends on configparser, psutil, pyyaml, requests, and robotframework to orchestrate test execution across multiple concurrent agents. It is actively maintained, has no known security vulnerabilities, and targets Python 3.9 and later. The GPL-3.0-only license means any modifications must be shared under the same license, which may affect use in proprietary environments.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you already use Robot Framework for functional testing and want to avoid duplicating test logic for load testing. The low install friction, active maintenance, and absence of known vulnerabilities make it a practical choice. However, the GPL-3.0-only copyleft license requires careful review if you plan to modify or integrate it into proprietary testing infrastructure\u2014you must share modifications under the same license."},"id":"rfswarm-agent","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/rfswarm-agent","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/rfswarm-agent.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/rfswarm-agent/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-05","license_spdx":"GPL-3.0-only","license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"rfswarm-agent","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"RFSwarm Agent"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":111481,"position":12413,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.6.0"}
