k6 and jmeter intro

Mastering k6 and JMeter will allow you to offer "Performance Audits," which are high-value freelance services. Since you already know Java and TypeScript, you can learn these tools simultaneously by mapping them to your existing skills. Here is your focused 3-month roadmap for Performance and Security testing. Month 1: Modern Performance with k6 (TypeScript Focus) Because you know Playwright and TypeScript, k6 will feel very natural. It uses a "Performance as Code" approach.  * Week 1: Fundamentals & Scripting    * Install k6 and set up your environment.    * Learn the k6 life cycle: init, setup, default function (the VU code), and teardown.    * Task: Convert one of your Rest Assured API tests into a k6 script. Use http.get and check() for assertions.  * Week 2: Load Profiles & Scenarios    * Learn to configure Options: Virtual Users (VUs), Duration, and Ramping (Stages).    * Understand the 4 types of tests: Smoke (mi...

Moving into Security Testing is a brilliant pivot. In the 2026 freelance market, "Automation Engineers" are common, but "Security-Aware SDETs" are rare and highly paid. Since you already have a technical foundation in Java and TypeScript, you can approach security from a "Shift-Left" perspective—automating security checks directly into the code. 3-Month Learning Path: Security & Advanced QA Month 1: The "Hacker Mindset" & Web Security Before touching tools, you must understand how applications are attacked.  * Focus: The OWASP Top 10 (2026 Update). This is the "Bible" of web vulnerabilities.  * Key Concepts to Master:    * Injection: SQL Injection and the new Prompt Injection (for AI-integrated apps).    * Broken Access Control: Testing if a regular user can access admin APIs.    * SSRF (Server-Side Request Forgery): A massive risk in cloud-native apps.  * Hands-on Practice: Use "OWASP Juice Shop" (a broken web app).
