Pain

As per my conversation with @william-liebenberg and @GordonBeeming , we should switch from using Artillery to k6 for performing load test. This is mainly because Artillery cannot perform test on Azure hosted sites that has Affinity setting enabled.

Suggested Solution

Remove Artillery load testing and its related dataset, and add k6 to do load testing. See https://grafana.com/docs/k6/latest/set-up/install-k6/ for k6 setup instructions.

Tasks

• [ ] Remove Artillery Load Test and its instances from both UI and backend
• [ ] Remove Why Artillery Load Test might fail on your URL and how you can fix it section in the KB
• [ ] Add k6 for load testing
• [ ] Replace Artillery instances in the UI and API with K6 (old scans with Artillery should still display its results)

Thanks!
