Required Installation

* Docker Deamon

How to Run a Test?

• vus and duration parameters must be defined

• command vus=arg0 duration=arg1 file=arg2 docker-compose up

Calculating RPS with k6

Request Rate = (VU * R) / T

T = (R * http_req_duration) + 1s

Request Rate: measured by the number of requests per second (RPS)
VU: the number of virtual users
R: the number of requests per VU iteration
T: a value larger than the time needed to complete a VU iteration

For Example:

• execute vus="10" duration="10s" file="/k6/scripts/shortening_link_test.js" docker-compose up
