Versions:
HIZTESTI CLI is a command-line internet speed and quality measurement tool published by NETMETRIK, currently available at version 0.2.0 with two versions released in total. The software is designed to measure a connection's download speed, upload speed, latency, jitter, and bufferbloat entirely from the command line, eliminating the need for a browser-based speed test. This makes it suitable for environments where a graphical interface or web browser is unavailable or impractical, such as headless servers, automated cron jobs, and low-powered devices. By running directly in the terminal, HIZTESTI CLI enables network performance testing to be integrated into scripts, scheduled tasks, and continuous monitoring workflows, allowing administrators and operators to collect connection quality data automatically and repeatedly over time. The tool supports multiple structured output formats, emitting results as JSON, CSV, and Prometheus-compatible output. The JSON and CSV formats facilitate further processing, logging, and analysis in external tools, while the Prometheus output allows measured metrics to be scraped and integrated into existing observability and alerting stacks. This combination of measurement capabilities and machine-readable output positions HIZTESTI CLI within the network monitoring and diagnostics software category, specifically addressing internet connection performance and quality assessment. Typical use cases include verifying bandwidth on remote or headless servers, tracking latency and jitter trends through scheduled cron-based measurements, detecting bufferbloat-related performance issues, and monitoring network quality on resource-constrained hardware where lightweight tooling is required. Because it operates without a browser, the tool can be deployed in minimal environments and automation pipelines where traditional speed test services cannot be used. HIZTESTI CLI is developed and distributed by NETMETRIK, and with version 0.2.0 as the current release, the software remains in an early stage of its versioning history, having progressed through two published versions so far.
