Nicole discusses how to stream the results of load tests run locally to the k6 Cloud and how to recreate a stepped load profile using k6, compared to a load testing tool like JMeter. Note from Nicole: I realized after this video that I was mixing `let` and `var` in this video. They have different implications on scope, and I would recommend you use `let` or `const` in your own scripts. Also, there are other ways to achieve the stepped load profile, but this is one way to do it.

So you've run your first load test. Now what? Nicole talks about how to use k6's performance thresholds to determine the success of your test, the importance of comparing tests with a baseline, and why you should be including load tests in your continuous integration pipelines.

On this second video of her week of testing, Nicole discusses how to run a load test on k6 using the no-coding Test Builder option that allows you to create a simple load testing script and scale it within minutes.

Nicole van der Hoeven has just joined the K6 team, and she's taking us with her on her Week of Testing as she learns everything she needs to know about load testing with K6. In this video, she talks about what K6 is, and how it's different from Load Impact and K6 Cloud.

Learn about Load Impact Insights Performance Alerts for automated load testing results analysis. Performance Alerts help you quickly understand your test results and pinpoint areas of concern.

Learn about:

• Considerations for testing goals based on previous performance
• Their load testing methodology
• How they determined what components they needed to test
• Why they migrated to k6 and Load Impact 4.0 for load testing

Learn about:

• Determining what you should test
• What level of traffic you need to generate
• How to test login and checkout processes
• How to use Data Stores in your tests
• Other considerations for ancillary services

Performance testing is an essential part of today's DevOps workflows. It requires the capability to run load tests both locally and in the cloud to address different users' needs at different stages of the software development cycle. Watch this webinar to learn how you can run performance tests in the cloud using the open source load testing tool - k6.

As a developer, you are being asked to get more deeply involved in the software testing and QA process. Delivering high quality code means not only passing functional tests, but also performance tests. The user experience of your website, app or API is highly dependent on performance.

In this webinar you will learn about:

• How to create and run a load test with k6
• How to set up load testing in a GitLab automation pipeline
• The benefits of k6 load testing in DevOps environments
