Missing important feature " Cross Browser Testing," if they added this feature, it would be excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best open source performance test tool for a modern microservice environment"
5/5
What do you like best about k6?

Using k6, I can have a performance test up and running in 5 minutes, complete with load model and thresholds. There has never been a performance test tool that could do that, and I've been using them all for the past twenty years. Since the tests are written in JS, I have unlimited flexibility and can create modules or import libraries when I need them. The resource usage of the running tool is negligible, and spinning up large performance tests from my local is a non-issue. The support is ridiculously good - I have never had an issue go unsolved, and usually it is within a day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about k6?

I am looking forward to seeing more functionality in the cloud product since I would like it to be able to automatically do deltas on each test step. I understand that this is already on the roadmap. Also, the cloud product is not currently passing the configured name of my test step to my APM (Datadog, in this case) which hampers my ability to visualize and store my cloud tests.

What do you dislike about k6?

On the earlier versions of the platform, we had some issues with load generators failing to start failing the test, but that looks like a thing of the past now as I haven't seen this happening in a while. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
