Manage projects

Use Projects to organize k6 tests in collections and grant access to these collections. Some ways to stay organized with Projects include the following:

  • Per team. Each team is given their own project for them to do their work and collaborate.
  • Per component. A project is created for each component or service you’re testing.
  • Per brand. E-commerce customers may want to use projects per brand to stay organized.
  • Per customer. When dealing with custom software, you can organize by customer to ensure each unique system is tested.
  • Per major release. After your systems go through a major change, you can create a new project to organize the most recent data.

Note

To invite users to a project, refer to Manage user or team project access.

View your projects

Projects give you a brief overview of what’s happening in your work.

On the Performance home page, Recent activity and Starred tabs list projects you use often. To see all projects, go to Testing & synthetics > Performance > Projects.

The Projects page in list view, showing project name, most recent test run, and quota columns

On the Projects page, use List or Grid to change the layout. Both views show the same information for each project:

Most recent test runThe latest test run in the project, with a link to open it.
QuotaVirtual User Hours (VUH) used for the project in the current month.

Use Search by project name to filter the list, or click Create new project to add a project.

Project overview

When you select a project from the Projects page, you can see an overview of all the tests in that project. Each test is comprised of individual test runs represented by bars in a chart. The bar length represents the values reported by the trending metric, and the color represents the test status.

Project ID

Each project has a unique identifier. You can view the project ID in the project overview page, under the project name.

k6 Project ID

The project ID can be used to:

Group tests together

k6 groups test runs according to the test name. The name of the test is determined by one of the following:

  • The test name in the Test Builder
  • The test script filename
  • The value of the options.cloud.name property in the test script (this overrides the filename).

Test run status

The color of the bar for a test run indicates its status:

  • Green indicates the test finished with no failed thresholds.
  • Yellow indicates that the test was interrupted.
  • Red indicates that the test failed one or more thresholds.

For details of all test statuses, refer to Cloud test status codes.
