+Benchmarking Tool
+=================
+
+The Artemis Benchmarking Tool is a web application designed for Artemis administrators to test the performance of Artemis under heavy load.
+It is available on `GitHub <https://github.com/ls1intum/Artemis-Benchmarking>`_.
+
+The Benchmarking Tool for Artemis is designed to simulate realistic user interactions with the Artemis platform,
+particularly focusing on exam conduction where the system's performance and scalability are most critical.
+
+This tool enables system administrators and developers to assess and analyze Artemis's behavior under simulated load conditions,
+providing valuable insights into response times, system workload, and overall stability.
+These insights can be used to identify the limits of the hardware infrastructure as well as the software architecture,
+thereby allowing for targeted optimizations and improvements.
+The main goal is to ensure that the respective Artemis setup can handle the expected load during exams without any performance issues.
+
+During an exam simulation, the tool participates in the exam on behalf of a configurable number of students.
+It performs various actions, such as logging in, starting the exam, submitting answers, and git operations.
+For each action, the tool measures the time it takes to complete the action and records the result.
+Additionally, the tool can be connected to Prometheus to collect and visualize workload metrics.
+
+For more information on how to set up and use the Benchmarking Tool, please refer to the `README <https://github.com/ls1intum/Artemis-Benchmarking?tab=readme-ov-file#artemis-benchmarking-tool>`_.
