⚡ k6 Testing Project

📖 Description

This repository contains performance and load tests written with k6.
The goal is to demonstrate how to:

• Perform a load test on a REST API or web application
• Collect metrics such as latency, response time, and throughput
• Analyze results for system optimization

---

🛠️ Technologies Used

• k6 – modern performance testing tool
• JavaScript/ES6 – for writing test scripts
• Node.js – for additional integrations
• GitHub – version control and collaboration

---

🚀 How to Run the Tests

1. Install k6:

   • Linux / macOS:

     brew install k6

   • Windows:
     Download from k6.io

2. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/malkiqmuki/k6Testing.git
   
   cd k6Testing
   

3. Run a test:

   k6 run script.js

   Replace script.js with the specific test file from the project.

4.Generate a report:

k6 run --out json=results.json script.js

Then you can analyze the results or import them into Grafana/InfluxDB.

✅ Example Test (script.js)

import http from 'k6/http';

import { sleep, check } from 'k6';

export let options = { vus: 10, // 10 virtual users duration: '30s', // test duration: 30 seconds };

export default function () { let res = http.get('https://test-api.example.com/');

check(res, { 'status is 200': (r) => r.status === 200, });

sleep(1); }

🔥 Ideas for Improvements

Add a GitHub Actions workflow for automated test execution

Integrate with Grafana for visualizations

Implement more complex scenarios (Ramp-Up, Soak Testing, Stress Testing)

Support CSV input data for parameterized tests
