QA k6 Workshop

Performance testing framework for k6 demo.

Dependencies 🧰

• Yarn
• Docker & Docker Compose
• K6 (for native runs)

Quick Start ⚡

• Clone this repository
• Run yarn install
• Run yarn build to create a build of the source code under the dist folder.
• If run with native k6 support execute k6 run dist/<script_name>.js
• Run yarn run-docker to run a sample scenario.

Github Actions

The tests can run directly from GA just by using the appropriate workflow load.yml under workflows. It will generate a summary.html report on GitHub if we want to visualize metrics and results. The job is triggered manually but we can set a smoke suite per PR merge.

Monitoring 📈

The framework supports monitoring via Grafana and InfluxDB. Both of them are setup locally as docker containers and orchestrated via Docker Compose. To start-up monitoring

• Start them via yarn monitor
• Go to localhost:3000 in your browser
• Navigate to Dashboards and then Import
• Go to the Import via grafana.com form and add 2587 or find the ID of any other K6 compatible dashboard from Grafana
• Run the test via yarn run-docker and see results being visualised.

We will use the official APIs from k6.io under here
