v1.10.0

1.10.0 (2026-01-15)

k6 Studio v1.10.0 is here! 🎉

Autocorrelation (Preview)

Creating reliable test scripts from recorded sessions often requires handling dynamic values like session tokens, CSRF tokens, and resource IDs that change between runs. k6 Studio now includes AI-powered autocorrelation that automatically detects these dynamic values and creates rules to extract and reuse them in your scripts.

Simply click “Autocorrelate” in the Test Rules section, and the AI will validate your recording, identify dynamic values, and generate the necessary correlation rules. You can review the suggested rules before applying them to your script. This feature requires an OpenAI API key, which can be configured in Settings.

Browser script debugging

Debugging browser scripts is now easier with a dedicated debugging view. When running a browser test script, k6 studio displays each browser action in real-time, including clicks, form fills, navigation, and element waits. Each action shows its execution status along with timing information, making it straightforward to identify which step failed and why.
The debugging panel also includes a Console tab for viewing script logs and a Network tab for inspecting HTTP requests made during execution.

v1.9.0

1.9.0 (2025-11-25)

k6 Studio 1.9.0 is here! 🎉

This release sees a number of improvements in how browser scripts are generated. For instance, exported scripts will no longer default to using CSS selectors but will instead prefer using getBy* locators. k6 Studio will also detect when action caused a page navigation and insert an appropriate waitForNavigation statement.

Some users were having problem using k6 Studio because enterprise policies were restricting the usage of browser extensions. To fix this, k6 Studio can now record browser interactions using the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP). This feature currently needs to be enabled in Settings -> Recorder, but will eventually become the default.

On the HTTP-testing side, you can now use a regular expression in verification rules. This allows for more advanced checks, e.g. checking for a range of status codes.

Features

• Add Regex support to Verification rule (#853) (4e2fdd4)
• browser: Add waitForNavigation on link clicks and form submissions (#879) (871b16a)
• browser: Expand selection to parent elements when adding text assertions (3d8fc89)
• browser: Generate getByAltText, getByLabel, getByPlaceholder and getByTitle selectors (#886) (2a14290)
• browser: Generate getByRole selectors (#877) (9404fda)
• browser: Record browser interactions over Chrome DevTools Protocol (experimental) (#871) (af4dc07)

Bug Fixes

• browser: Browser event drawer opens and closes when picking an element (#874) (a7a5a92)
• browser: Clicks are not recorded on inputs with type button, submit or reset (a3d6607)
