	k6	SoapUI Open Source, supported by SmartBear
Likelihood to Recommend	Grafana Labs [k6 (formerly Load Impact)] is well suited to run performance automated suites and to run stress tests, spike tests and load tests[.] We can run tests from recorded [sessions] but we cannot run npm modules and we cannot run nod js libs[.] Incentivized Mahmoud Shaaban Senior Validation Engineer Read full review	SmartBear If you are making system upgrade project and you have existing system working and you want to imitate messages that are going in production but without making any data loads or switch it’s very suitable and convenient software. It serves well in manual test scenarios but wouldn’t be as good in case of mass tests. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
