Which should you do: frontend vs. backend performance testing? The short answer is both. Each has its pros and cons, but hybrid load testing combines them and gives you the most holistic view of performance, including frontend concerns like how quickly a page renders or perceived application performance as well as backend concerns like response times of individual components.

In this video, we talk about how to organize testing scripts in k6 using features like tags, groups, and functions depending on what type of testing you want to do with your test script. Developer Advocates Paul Balogh, Marie Cruz, and Nicole van der Hoeven show us a few examples of how they would organize and modularize scripts in a test suite.

In this introduction to performance testing, we talk about how performance is part of the functionality of an application, why you should do performance testing, and some myths about performance that discourage teams from testing for it and make applications more likely to fail and fail miserably.

For our first k6 Office Hours in 2023, Developer Advocates Marie Cruz and Paul Balogh will be joined by Stefan Dunkler from Grafana, who will talk about browser instrumentation with Grafana Faro and xk6-browser!

A small retrospective on 2022 and perspectives on what 2023 will bring. Thanks to everyone involved with k6. Happy Holidays!

Did you know that k6 can also be used for chaos testing? On this week’s Office Hours, Developer Advocates Leandro Melendez and Marie Cruz will be joined by Pablo Chacin to talk about xk6-disruptor, an extension for injecting faults into your k6 tests.

Do you want to expand how you can k6 beyond its core features? On this week's k6 Office Hours, Developer Advocates Paul Balogh and Marie Cruz will talk about k6 extensions! If you're interested to know what a k6 extension is, how to get started, and a demo on how to use it, join us in this episode!

We demonstrate how to run distributed load testing using Kubernetes with k6 and k6 operator. k6 can already run up to 40,000 virtual users from a single load generator, but if you want to scale that up further, you can use the Kubernetes operator to create a k6 custom resource within your cluster.

What is hybrid performance testing? It's an approach that involves writing and executing browser- and protocol-level testing scripts, but it does come with its own challenges. On this week's k6 Office Hours, Developer Advocates Marie Cruz and Leandro Melendez (Señor Performo) discuss the best practices for running hybrid performance tests with k6.
