The following folders and files are included in the starter template:

The common folder serves as a suitable location for storing re-usable (exported) functions. It currently contains a commented-out example of such a function.

It is often useful to separate test configuration from JavaScript code, particularly when the code is being kept under source control.

The contents of test.json will be merged with options set directly in the entry-point script (main.js). One of the more useful properties to store in this JSON file are Scenario definitions.

The current test.json contains a single scenario that will run the exported function in scripts/script1.js as determined by the scenario's exec property that expects the name of an exported function to execute.

Note that it is necessary to re-export the function in the entry-point script (main.js) in order to make it accessible.

The scripts folder can be used to store code that performs actual automation.

Unlike the httpx template that uses verifyResponse to perform response validation/assertion, k6chaijs does so instead with ChaiJS to enable BDD- and TDD-style assertions.
