Learn about performance testing foundations using this video tutorial. You will learn about different performance testing types, its terminology, and create first load tests using k6 and JavaScript.
Testing types covered in this video:
- performance vs load
- spike
- breakpoint or stress test
- normal load
- endurance or soak
- scaling
- recovery
I will use k6 load testing tool to demo the progress and you will learn all of the basic concepts:
- getting started
- using options to change test duration
- using virtual users (VU or VUS) to increase load
- using stages to control ramping up & down
And, of course, I will clarify fundamental knowledge blocks required to interpret results:
- average (mean) vs median
- percentiles meaning (p90 & p95)
- different load patterns

Ever wondered why you automate? Pause for a moment and ask yourself, “Why do I code?” 🤔💭
- Because I will have a cool title and more money? 😎💰The current market indeed pays more for people with coding skills (test code is still code!). But this is not the reason we automate, or at least it shouldn’t be!
- Because it is cool? Do you want to be in the “cool kids” club? This is also often the case, but not the right rationale…
- Because it’s fun, interesting, and challenging? True that, but it is still a wrong motive! 😄
So what is the proper reason?...
