AI Assistant

Generate production-ready load test scripts using natural language descriptions. The AI creates complete k6 scripts with realistic payloads, validation logic, and performance thresholds.

Using the AI Assistant​

Step 1: Activate AI Generation​

Click Create Test and select Build with AI, or click the AI icon from anywhere in the test creation interface.

AI Assistant Option

Step 2: Describe Your Test Scenario​

Enter a clear description of your test requirements (up to 5,000 characters).

AI Prompt Interface

Include key details:

  • Target endpoint and HTTP method
  • Load pattern (VUs, requests per second, duration)
  • Authentication requirements
  • Expected payloads and parameters

Example prompt:

Test a REST API at /api/products with GET requests, 100 concurrent users for 5 minutes.
The API requires Bearer token authentication and should respond within 200ms for 95% of requests.

Step 3: Review Generated Code​

The AI generates a complete k6 script within 5-15 seconds.

AI Code Preview

Review options:

  • Accept Code - Load script into editor and proceed
  • Reject - Discard and refine your prompt
  • Copy - Copy script to clipboard

Step 4: Refine and Execute​

After accepting, the script loads into Script Editor for customization. Adjust parameters, add validation checks, or configure execution options before running.

Writing Effective Prompts​

Be specific:

  • Vague: "Test my API"
  • Better: "Test my REST API at /api/products with GET requests, 100 concurrent users, for 5 minutes"

Describe user flows for multi-step tests:

Simulate users who login, search for products, add items to cart, and complete checkout.
Include realistic think times between actions.

Specify performance expectations:

Response time should be under 200ms for 95% of requests with zero errors.
