K6 - Performance Testing tool


Introduction, Installation & Run First Script:

K6 is another testing tool provided by Grafana Labs which supports JavaScript. It is so easy and simple to use that it
has its own claim that it is better than j meter and gatling and load runner. K6 was written in goal language because
JavaScript is not the right language for performance testing and it does not work on the node.js environment but for
the client point of view they have given the scripted language as a javascript. It is originally running on the go
language with the help of go language and here you can see the devops in the sre team also. K6 is an open source
load testing tool that makes performance testing easy and productive for engineering teams. Community and first
class support make it a great choice for software development teams. The documentation is also great, with clear
instructions and examples that I have already seen.

The tool itself is written in Go language and embedding a JavaScript runtime, allowing for the easy test scripting.
Provided by xk6 browser and you can interact with the real browser so you can see those things as well. You can
install on Linux, Mac, and Windows machine and then use the Docker container also, to stand alone library binary
also. Run a test with virtual users and number of threads or virtual users to increase the test duration. Ramp up the
number of requests up and down as a test run between some time that the five users are coming on 10 users and then
15 users and suddenly back to five then again you're ramping up and ramping down that also. We can do that so this
is saying that you just simply create one script. Script.js is available here. It's very simple what you just need to use
k6 run to run it.

K6 is a tool that works with the concept of virtual users. This allows your test script views to be essentially parallel,
just like while loops that you are using and scripts are written in JavaScript as e6 modules. K6 generates load for
your test, making a matrix that ensures the performance of the system broadly. You can analyze matters in two
ways: a summary stats mode and the granular detail mode with measurement. Built-in output also includes a cloud
csv data log data log js json net data grifana cloud and json log. 'Empowered' new relic tool also can be integrated to
present the data and everything so that you can see it all at once.



Install K6 on Windows OS | Run First Script

K6 can be downloaded on Linux, Mac OS, and Windows machines. If you want to use it with the Choco package
manager, you can do that with the Windows package manager. However, these package managers should be on your
