Integrating k6 Load Tests with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI and Azure DevOps

Nowadays, ensuring the performance and reliability of your applications is crucial. Load testing helps identify performance bottlenecks and ensures your application can handle expected traffic. One popular tool for load testing is k6, which is known for its simplicity, robustness, and seamless integration with CI/CD pipelines. In this article you will see how to integrate k6 load tests with three major CI/CD platforms: Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, and GitLab CI.

Internationalization (i18n) – in test automation

This approach is about keeping tests stable when the application switches between multiple languages (e.g. romanian, french, english, etc). Starting with the fact that nowadays applications support multiple languages (which is great for users!), for automation engineers it can quickly turn into a nightmare if the test selectors depend on visible text. This can be avoided by application an internationalization mechanism (i18n) into your automation design.

Understanding the Difference Between “module” and “commonjs” in package.json

If you’ve been already working with JavaScript, you’re not alone in feeling confused about the differences between CommonJS and ES Modules (ESM) – especially when it comes to how the “type” field in package.json affects your project. This post breaks down what that field actually does, how it impacts import/export syntax.
