# Your first performance test

**What you’ll do in this module:**

- **How k6 runs your test script:** Virtual users, iterations, and the three parts of a script
- **First test path:** Install k6, write the QuickPizza script, run locally, send to Grafana Cloud k6
- **What k6 measures:** Built-in metrics in the terminal and in dashboards
- **Local vs cloud execution:** When to reach for `k6 run` vs `k6 cloud run`
- **First test complete:** Debrief and questions to take into Module 3

**Estimated time:** 10-15 minutes
