What is it @grot? What can I do with it?
Hello @mdavidallen!
k6 Studio is a desktop application designed to simplify the process of creating and managing k6 test scripts. It's particularly useful for those who might not be very familiar with JavaScript or the k6 tool itself. Here's a quick overview of what you can do with k6 Studio:
-
Record User Flows: You can record interactions from your browser to generate a HAR file. This is useful for capturing the exact sequence of requests your application makes during a user session.
-
Generate Test Scripts: From the HAR file, k6 Studio can generate a k6 test script. You can customize this script using a visual interface, which allows you to define hosts, include variables, and set up rules for parameterizing requests.
-
Test and Debug: The application provides a visual interface to test and debug your scripts. You can inspect request and response details, which helps in validating that your script behaves as expected.
-
Validate Scripts: You can run a single iteration of your test script to ensure it works correctly before running a full load test.
-
Export and Run Tests: Once your script is ready, you can export it and run it using the k6 CLI or in Grafana Cloud k6 to perform load testing and gather performance metrics.
Overall, k6 Studio is a great tool for both beginners and experienced developers to streamline the process of creating and managing performance tests with k6. If you're interested in getting started, you can download k6 Studio from its GitHub repository.
