# k6 specialists for your dedicated team.

k6 is a load testing tool with tests written in JavaScript and a Go execution engine. It is designed for automation: scriptable, version-controlled and with defined pass or fail thresholds, so performance testing runs in a pipeline on every build.

## Where k6 fits in a long-term product team.

Thresholds are what make k6 useful in delivery as well as in a report. A test declaring that the 95th percentile must stay under 500ms and errors under one percent either passes or fails, which means performance can gate a release the same way a unit test does.

The value depends entirely on the realism of the scenario. A test hammering one endpoint with no think time measures something, but not anything a user will experience. Modelling real journeys, with realistic pacing and a data set that defeats caching, is where the work is, and where most load testing quietly goes wrong.

## What your dedicated team does with k6.

Performance regressions accumulate invisibly. No single change makes a system slow; twenty changes over six months do, and without a regular baseline it is impossible to say which ones or when it started.

Running that baseline continuously turns load testing into a signal, handled by our testers through [a dedicated QA and testing team](https://azendo.co/services/dedicated-qa-and-testing-team/) alongside the rest of the suite.

## Common k6 use cases.

* Performance gates in the pipeline Thresholds that fail a build, so CI catches a regression before users do.
* Scenarios modelled on real journeys Pacing and data that reflect real usage.
* A baseline that makes drift visible Regular runs, so a gradual slowdown can be traced to when it started.

## Adding k6 skills to your team.

Realistic scenarios are the deliverable, and the baseline runs continuously. That standing commitment is part of how the monthly fee is built.
