In performance testing, having detailed insights into the performance of each endpoint is crucial for identifying bottlenecks and optimizing system performance.

While tools like JMeter offer endpoint-wise summaries by default, achieving the same in k6 requires a bit of customization. In this guide, I’ll walk you through how to enhance endpoint-wise reporting in k6 scripts, enabling you to gain valuable insights into the performance of individual endpoints.

Introduction

Performance testing plays a critical role in ensuring the reliability and scalability of applications.

With the increasing complexity of modern web applications, it’s essential to have robust tools that provide comprehensive insights into performance metrics. While k6 is a powerful load testing tool, it doesn’t offer endpoint-wise summaries out of the box.

However, with some customization, we can leverage k6 to generate detailed reports for each endpoint, similar to what JMeter provides.

Customizing k6 Scripts for Endpoint-Wise Reporting

To achieve endpoint-wise reporting in k6, we’ll utilize custom trends to track the performance of each request individually. By creating…
