Performance Test Framework - k6

A k6-based performance testing framework designed to validate system reliability and scalability under different traffic conditions such as load, stress, spike, mixed user journeys, and endurance testing. The project includes SLA validation and CI/CD integration using GitHub Actions.

Features

• Load Testing using k6
• Stress Testing to find system breaking point
• Spike Testing for sudden traffic bursts
• Mixed User Journey simulation
• Endurance (Soak) Testing
• SLA validation using thresholds

CI/CD

Performance tests execute automatically using GitHub Actions whenever code is pushed.

Pipeline:

• Installs k6
• Executes all test scenarios
• Validates SLA thresholds
• Ensures no performance regression is introduced

Performance Test Results Summary

Test Type	P95 Response Time	Failure Rate	Evidence
Load Test	14.19ms	0.00%	View
Stress Test	29.41ms	0.00%	View
Spike Test	14.62ms	0.00%	View
Mixed Journey	15.92ms	0.00%	View
Endurance Test	14.28ms	0.00%	View

Note: All results are based on a mock API (jsonplaceholder.typicode.com). The objective of this project is to demonstrate a k6 performance testing framework, CI/CD integration, and SLA validation rather than testing production infrastructure.
