Introduction

The K6 extension allows to integrate K6 Load Tests into Steadybit Experiments. Local Test or Test using K6 Cloud are supported.

Single Scripts and k6 Archives

Upload a test as a single script (.js) or, if it imports other local files or reads data files, as a k6 archive (.tar) created with k6 archive. Set the step's optional Duration and Virtual users parameters to change the load without editing the test. The experiment editor uses the duration to show how long the step runs. Both can't be combined with k6 scenarios; see the K6 action for details.

Support Multiple k6 Executions Locations

Optionally, you can activate the extension's support for multiple k6 execution locations. Once you have activated it, you can configure available k6 execution locations for a team via environments and ensure you're always running the k6 load test from the right internal location. Multiple k6 execution locations are especially helpful when you have different load test hardware to support different scales of load test executions. See extension-k6's readme for further information and migration guidelines.
