Load Testing Framework

This directory contains the load testing framework for StrellerMinds-Frontend, built with k6.

Prerequisites

• Docker and Docker Compose
• Node.js (for local app execution)

Structure

• script.js: The main k6 load testing script defining scenarios and thresholds.
• docker-compose.yml: Infrastructure setup for InfluxDB, Grafana, and k6.

Running Tests

1. Start the Application

Ensure your Next.js application is running locally or target a deployed environment.

npm run dev
# App should be available at http://localhost:3000

2. Run Load Test (CLI)

If you have k6 installed locally:

k6 run script.js

3. Run with Visualization (Docker)

To run the tests and view metrics in Grafana:

docker-compose up

• Grafana Dashboard: http://localhost:3001
• InfluxDB: http://localhost:8086

CI/CD Integration

The load tests are automatically triggered via GitHub Actions on pull requests to the main branch. See .github/workflows/load-test.yml.
