k6 Browser Recorder Extension

The extension records all of the HTTP(S) requests that your browser makes, creates a test script, and automatically uploads it to your k6.io cloud account, where a load test can be executed.

Once uploaded to your k6.io cloud account, you can edit the test script using the powerful high-level language JavaScript. The script editor has syntax highlighting and a linter is run on save to help you avoid syntax errors and other common scripting mistakes.

You can run tests from up to 10 different geographic regions in a single test (powered by Amazon).
