We all want our websites to be responsive and useful. However, the biggest correlation between website performance and business results is seen by improving the performance and speed of your website. Users get bored if they have to wait for too long to load your website or application. Performance Testing and Load Testing your website and restful APIs will help you understand better how your website and web services behave when a lot of users access your website at the same time.

When someone new joins the company, they're encouraged to do what is called a "Week of Testing" - taking k6 for a spin and presenting your findings to the rest of the team. This article will show you how you can make your test scripts more readable and maintainable. To do that, I'll test a demo application with a custom DSL. DSL is short for a Domain Specific Language, and in this case, it allowed me to write meaningful code specific to our business requirements.

You can find a collection of k6 scripts and build specification for Bamboo in this tutorial here.

September was a busy month for our team. With some of the vacations still happening, we worked hard to make our tool even better for you and also created and ran tests for some of our customers. While work on some features is still in progress, in this blog post we share what was changed in Loadero in September.

We have already wrote previously about how you can automate your testing routines without using the graphical interface but by using Loadero API instead. In this blog post we will show how you can integrate performance and load tests into your CI/CD workflows with the help of Github Actions. Github Actions allow you to automate and execute your development workflows directly from your repository which makes the integration very simple.

Recently, k6 started supporting k6 extensions to extend k6 capabilities for other cases required by the community. The community has already built plenty of extensions. k6 extensions are written in Go, and many of them are reusing existing Go libraries. This makes k6 to be a versatile tool to test different protocols and adapt to multiple cases. This post is the third part of my series of articles testing various systems using k6: Let's look in this post how we test the popular Kafka project.

The summer break is over, we start to creep towards autumn, and we at k6 haven't been resting on our laurels. What happened since the k6 v0.33.0 release? So glad you asked! The below. And then some!

Dynatrace is a cloud monitoring platform and is used by many organisations to measure the performance of their production systems and to set thresholds against which performance tolerance are measured. During testing Dynatrace can be used to monitor how the application under test responds during your performance tests as well as providing the capability to drill down into performance issues you may need to investigate.

In this tutorial, we will look into how to integrate performance testing in your development process with Google Cloud Build and k6. k6 is an open-source load testing tool for testing the performance of APIs, microservices, and websites. Developers use k6 to test a system's performance under a particular load to catch performance regressions or errors.
