K6 initial setup

[kclark-scottlogic]

Ticket for visibility on adding in K6 structure to allow for load testing.

This ticket will have a basic smoke test script implemented.

Smoke tests in this form of testing have a minimal load. Run them to verify that the system works well under minimal load and to gather baseline performance values.

This test type consists of running tests with a few VUs — more than 5 VUs could be considered a mini-load test.

Similarly, the test should execute for a short period, either a low number of iterations or a duration from seconds to a few minutes maximum.

Example code segment for smoke testing:

import http from 'k6/http';
import { check, sleep} from 'k6';

export const options = {
  vus: 3, // Key for Smoke test. Keep it at 2, 3, max 5 VUs
  duration: '1m', // This can be shorter or just a few iterations
};

export default () => {
  const urlRes = http.get('https://test-api.k6.io');
  sleep(1);
  // MORE STEPS
  // Here you can have more steps or complex script
  // Step1
  // Step2
  // etc.
};
