This project will handle the load tests for backend API.

Include:

• Regular request (load_scripts/backend-api/manifest.js)
• Login simple request (load_scripts/backend-api/login.js)
• JWT Request (including token request) (load_scripts/backend-api/checkToken.js)
• Random payload generated requests (using Faker.js) (load_scripts/backend-api/register.js)

The scripts provide a simplified visual report with testings and validations

There is an easy option to debug any performance issue using a full featured dashboard.

As well is possible to check details in depth.

npm run infra:build   # Build docker-compose
npm run infra:start   # Up docker-compose
npm run infra:stop    # Down docker-compose

You should create a .env file at the same level as the docker-compose.yml. Those environmental variables will be injected to the K6 docker image.

To run the tests:
