Executors
Executors control how k6 schedules VUs and iterations. The executor that you choose depends on the goals of your test and the type of traffic you want to model.
Define the executor in executor
key of the scenario object.
The value is the executor name separated by hyphens.
export const options = {
scenarios: {
arbitrary_scenario_name: {
//Name of executor
executor: 'ramping-vus',
// more configuration here
},
},
};
All executors
The following table lists all k6 executors and links to their documentation.
Note
For any given scenario, you can’t guarantee that a specific VU can run a specific iteration.
With
SharedArray
and execution context variables, you can map a specific VU to a specific value in your test data. So the tenth VU could use the tenth item in your array (or the sixth iteration to the sixth item).But, you cannot reliably map, for example, the tenth VU to the tenth iteration.
