An introduction to load testing
This presentation introduces load testing, its types, and relevant questions it addresses. It highlights K6, a simple load testing tool using JavaScript, ideal for frontend developers, especially those using the BFF pattern. The session shares how K6 assisted a team in choosing an approach for feature refactoring.

During this presentation I’d like to introduce a topic of load testing. There are several types of them, so I’ll describe their nature and provide questions they are supposed to give an answer to.
Although there are several tools for load tests on the market, I’d like to introduce the one I’ve been playing with for some time - K6. This is due to the fact it’s very simple - a developer is able to write the simplest test case in a matter of some-teen lines of code. And finally, tests are written with Java Script.
As it’s on introduction level only, I don’t go very deep into the topic. Being conscious of time I just explain the rationale why fronted developers should consider such a test suite (especially if they follow a BFF pattern) and provide some real story of how K6 helped my team investigate which approach should we take during refactoring some feature.

Well, I’m a senior frontend developer with nearly 15 years of professional experience. I love React for its simplicity and high-quality frontend testing for confidence it gives. I love sharing my knowledge, which makes me very often a speaker during internal company meetups. After a few initial attempts I felt like I’d like to spread this activity outside too, that’s why I responded to your CoP.
I work for a tech hub of a financial giant of the British market - Hargreaves Lansdown. I’m less and less a developer as recently I focus more on frontend architecture, testing shift left or helping less experienced colleagues to level up their expertise. During an uncountable amount of interviews and inductions I received a lot of feedback that we’ve introduced quality patterns to our ecosystem. That made me think of sharing it, or maybe even challenging by other developers outside.
