lightweight-browser-load-tester/examples/authenticated-session.yaml

A lightweight load testing tool using real browsers for streaming applications with DRM support

# Authenticated Session Load Test Example
# This configuration demonstrates how to use localStorage to simulate
# authenticated users for realistic load testing scenarios

# Basic test configuration

testDuration: 300  # 5 minutes
rampUpTime: 30     # 30 seconds to ramp up all users
