ali
A load testing tool aimed to perform real-time analysis, inspired by vegeta and jplot.
ali comes with a simple terminal based UI, lets you generate HTTP requests and plot the results in real-time.
With it, real-time analysis can be done on the terminal.
Installation
Binaries are available through the releases page.

Features
Plot in real-time
Currently it only plots latencies, but in the near future more metrics will be drawn as well.
Visualize the attack progress
This will help you during long tests.
Mouse support
With the help of mum4k/termdash, it's intuitive to operate.
