We are using Soasta at your company. We use it to do record, parametrize, playback to simulate multi user workflows. Cant see any such support here. One of the problems with Soasta is it requires lot of servers to trigger load. Looking for moving away from it. k6 seems interesting, but couldn't find any record/playback functionality. Any addon/extension which can be used to achieve similar purpose with K6?


The canonical way to record web traffic are HAR files: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAR_(file_format)

You can export HAR files from all web browsers and a lot of proxies and other tools. Then you can convert that recording to a k6 script with our HAR converter: https://k6.io/docs/test-authoring/recording-a-session/har-co...

We also have browser plugins to directly record browser traffic and import it as a k6 script in our cloud service: https://k6.io/docs/test-authoring/recording-a-session/browse...

However, you don't need a cloud subscription to run the tests, you can copy-paste the generated script code and `k6 run` it locally, without paying us anything.


Thanks. Will check it out.
