Specifying weights with http.batch and separate request functions

[crichmond_1]

I’m new to k6 and doing research with scripted load testing platforms. I’m wondering if the multiple requests specified with http.batch can have weights applied to them? For example, say I have 3 requests, and the first I want to run 60% of the time, and the other two 20% of the time, how would I do that?

Also, I’ll be performance testing a complex api, is there a way to group a set of http requests into a common function and batch those functions?

Have you looked at the new scenarios in k6 v0.27.0? They offer both a way to “group a set of http requests into a common function” (put them in a scenario), and to “batch those functions” (multiple scenarios can be executed in parallel), and “can have weights applied to them” - you can specify a different number of looping VUs or iterations per second (which might be more appropriate for an API test) for each scenario.
