I’m excited to announce a significant update to the Tracetest integration with k6. This enhancement enables trace-based tests to be seamlessly integrated with k6 load tests executed from Tracetest.

With this new feature, you can leverage the Tracetest managed platform alongside your current k6 tests, facilitating comprehensive, deep assertions throughout the entire system under test. This integration empowers you to conduct thorough white-box testing, ensuring accurate operation and timing analysis across your entire system, even as the load intensifies.

To help you understand the significance of this update, we have introduced detailed documentation in our integrations section. This new resource provides a clear explanation of why this integration is vital, how it functions, and guides you through the setup process.
