How k6 v2.0 lowers the barriers to proactive testing with AI-assisted authoring, visual scripting, and more

Bugs and bottlenecks are inevitable, but letting them reach your users isn't. In this session, k6 team members Théo Crevon and Andrey Slotin demonstrate how k6 v2.0 lowers the barriers to proactive testing. With AI-assisted authoring, visual scripting using k6 Studio, rich assertions to validate app behavior, and a native ecosystem that extends support to any protocol, the latest version of k6 makes it easy to validate performance and correctness before they impact production.

In their own experience, performance testing is often treated as an afterthought. Teams care about it only after an incident occurs. This reactive approach usually comes from the perception that there's a high cost to creating tests for complex systems. Théo and Andrey highlight how v2.0 was designed specifically to address those concerns and walk through how the native extension ecosystem adapts k6 to your specific tech stack and workflows. Learn how to turn reliability from a late-stage panic into a proactive habit.
