Test.Bash(); UI Challenge 2022
This is the Test.Bash(); UI Challenge for demoing how to use xk6-browser on how to automate the test on the browser level.
What is xk6-browser?
xk6-browser is an extension to k6 which brings browser automation and end-to-end web testing to k6 while supporting core k6 features. It adds browser-level scripting APIs to interact with real browsers and collect frontend metrics as part of your k6 tests.
