| description | Use when writing or reviewing performance tests that measure latency, throughput, resource utilisation, or scalability under load, and when asserting results against SLO thresholds as a pass/fail gate. |
A performance test measures non-functional properties — latency, throughput, concurrency capacity, resource consumption — under a defined load profile. Results are statistical; pass/fail is determined by comparison against an explicit SLO baseline, not exact values.
