possibility to collect network requests and its details which are being triggered in browser while running k6 browser performance tests

[saudixit]

Feature Description

Like puppeteer supports , there should be a possibility to collect the details related to API, AJAX requests which are being triggered during browser test interaction.

Currently K6 browser performance tests provides average summary of network request which doesnt give much information about which Network request took how much time.

With the above feature request user will have possibility to capture the individual requests which are being triggered during browser interaction

Suggested Solution (optional)

like puppeteer or cypress framework if framework can provide way to monitor all the network request from browser

Hi @saudixit,

From what I understand you would like the browser module to measure all http requests that chrome makes when the browser module navigates to a page. The browser module measures the following for each http request that chrome makes after navigating to a page and while the test runs on the page:

• browser_http_req_duration -- The response time of the request;
• browser_data_sent -- the total request data sent in bytes;
• browser_data_received -- the total response received in bytes;
• browser_http_req_failed -- whether the request failed or not.

Which other measurements are you looking for when chrome makes these http requests?

Currently K6 browser performance tests provides average summary of network request

How are you currently displaying the http results after your test runs?

Hi @ankur22 , Currently K6 browser performance tests result summary provides average browser request duration through browser_http_req_duration this parameter. We would like to have a req -response duration for each individual requests which are being made while browser interaction and this will help us to understand the bottlenecks from API server while running through browser. With current setup we are not able to find which request took how much time.
