useful talk

[@luizwurlitzer]

Cool!

[@kunalnegi8038]

Hey what about the reporting part?? How an we get the good decision making reports?

[@JoeColantonio]

I think they have a dashboard for reports github.com/grafana/xk6-dashboard

[@user-nv8if2kl7z]

How many atmost VU users can we test for Front-end performance Testing

[@JoeColantonio]

Is the question how many VU per machine can you run? If it depends on lots of factors

[@jancosle]

Looks great but honestly I waited for a deeper explanation about performance things, not about just how to make a test with k6 browser.

[@JoeColantonio]

I appreciate your feedback and will consider a more in-depth performance explanation for future videos.

[@surajitdas94]

Can I load test with 100k user?

[@JoeColantonio]

In theory if you have enough client machines OR check our Artillery.io + Playwright they have a cloud that scales to infinity

[@Hellsfoul]

Hmm. Why do you switch to asynchronous code? Running a testcase is a very linear task. We will get a callback hell like on cypress. Normaly you use page objects and then you have to return promises from the page object functions. Very annoying.

[@k6io]

Hi there! Asynchronous code is very common when working with browser operations. Playwright, which is the inspiration for k6 browser, uses async/await to handle the asynchronous operations, so to provide rough compatibility, the k6 browser API will also be using async/await keywords. At the time of recording this video, k6 browser was still using native promises but this has now been updated on our future releases. I hope this helps! :) - Marie
