cargo build --release

And you can find your binary in "./target/release/welle".

Roadmap

• Customization the type of request made
• Ability to log structured result data
• Graphing and charting of data
• Finer tuned diagnostics of how long individual parts of the request take (e.g., connection time)
• Control of how the test runs over time
