Important info

This is the repository containing the load tests and required infrastructure for load test execution and continous monitoring

• load test is implemented using https://k6.io/ and https://sitespeed.io
• the tests in k6 is "normal" JS code, and you can use whatever external library you need. However, beware, there is no npm / TS support
• the test in sitespeed is no implemented test, you use the tool itself and add some flags, depending on what you want to test

Setup for k6

Create .env file with the following values.

BackendForFrontendBaseUrl=
BasicAuthToken=
K6_OUT=influxdb=http://influx:8086/k6
LandingPageUrl=
JsAsset1FileUrl=
JsAsset2FileUrl=

Note: If you want to extend the env values, then feel free. You just have to add new values the .env and the docker-compose-load-monitoring file. In the k6.io test files there is basic authentication defined. This is not necessary, just an example to show where it has to be placed.

Running the test(s)

• start the load testing infrastructure with

docker-compose -f docker-compose-load-monitoring.yml up

– Grafana will locally be available at http://localhost:3000

• SitespeedIO and Graphite (for storing metrics) will be created. Besides example sitespeedIO dashboards will be added to Grafana.

• run the desired k6 tests with

docker-compose -f docker-compose-load-test.yml run k6 run /sources/load-test.js
docker-compose -f docker-compose-load-test.yml run k6 run /sources/...

• run sitespeedIO with

docker-compose -f .\docker-compose-load-monitoring.yml run sitespeed.io https://<<URL_TO_TEST>> --graphite.host=graphite
