In these unprecedented times, everyday life has begun to change in ways we couldn’t even dream of only a few weeks ago. With the global population moving to more isolated lifestyles (remote working policies, social distancing, etc.) people are looking to digital services to help create a sense of calm and normalcy.

In this tutorial, we will look into how to integrate performance testing with k6 in your TeamCity build setup. k6 is a free and open-source performance testing tool for testing the performance of APIs, microservices and websites.

A test framework is a set of guidelines which can be followed to create test cases and related processes. These guidelines can be about coding practices, storage and retrieval of test data and test results, interaction with external resources and many other things. A test framework usually contains internal libraries and reusable code modules which provide a foundation for test automation and can be leveraged to build test automation systems for different types of applications.

When I’m writing new software, one of the most important thoughts in my mind is how I’ll test to make sure it works. There are lots of ways to test software, and when you’re at your best, you should be using all of them. Sure, you should make sure that your QA team is able to verify that your code works before it goes live. You should make sure that the code passes acceptance tests, too.

We have come a long way since the original release of the OctoPerf Enterprise Edition 30 months ago. We have added so many features since then that it felt important to regroup them in this blog post to highlight how easy it has become to install and manage your own OctoPerf server. I will refer to our documentation a lot because all of these features are detailed there. But documentation can sometimes make the decision process more difficult just because of the sheer amount of information it gives.

Introduction Once upon a time documentation was one of the most important aspects of Quality Assurance and this was not limited to the functional test efforts but the non-functional testing as well. We spent days, weeks, months even creating Performance Test Strategies, Approaches, Plans, Test Case, Completion Reports etc. Most of these documents were required before any automation could be written and before a sensible performance testing framework could be considered.
