-
-### Test Scenarios
-
-#### Smoke Test (Minimal Load)
-```javascript
-// k6 smoke test
-export const options = {
-  vus: 1,                // 1 virtual user
-  duration: '1m',        // Run for 1 minute
-};
-```
-**Purpose**: Verify system works under minimal load
-
-#### Load Test (Expected Traffic)
-```javascript
-export const options = {
-  stages: [
-    { duration: '5m', target: 100 },   // Ramp to average load
-    { duration: '30m', target: 100 },  // Maintain average load
-    { duration: '5m', target: 0 },     // Ramp down
-  ],
-};
-```
-**Purpose**: Validate performance under expected traffic
-
-#### Stress Test (Beyond Capacity)
-```javascript
-export const options = {
-  stages: [
-    { duration: '5m', target: 200 },   // Ramp to above average
-    { duration: '10m', target: 300 },  // Ramp to high load
-    { duration: '5m', target: 500 },   // Stress point
-    { duration: '10m', target: 500 },  // Maintain stress
-    { duration: '5m', target: 0 },     // Recover
-  ],
-};
-```
-**Purpose**: Find breaking point and recovery behavior
-
-#### Soak Test (Endurance)
-```javascript
-export const options = {
-  stages: [
-    { duration: '5m', target: 100 },
-    { duration: '8h', target: 100 },   // Long duration
-    { duration: '5m', target: 0 },
-  ],
-};
-```
-**Purpose**: Identify memory leaks and resource degradation
-
-#### Spike Test (Sudden Load)
-```javascript
-export const options = {
-  stages: [
-    { duration: '30s', target: 100 },
-    { duration: '1m', target: 1000 },  // Sudden spike
-    { duration: '3m', target: 100 },
-    { duration: '30s', target: 0 },
-  ],
-};
-```
-**Purpose**: Test auto-scaling and sudden traffic spikes
-
-### Performance Metrics
-
-#### Key Metrics to Track
-1. **Throughput**: Requests per second (RPS)
-2. **Latency**: Response time (p50, p95, p99)
-3. **Error Rate**: Failed requests / total requests
-4. **Concurrency**: Active virtual users
-5. **Saturation**: CPU, memory, network utilization
-
-#### Response Time Percentiles
-```
-p50 (median):  50% of requests faster than this
-p95:           95% of requests faster than this
-p99:           99% of requests faster than this
-p99.9:         99.9% of requests faster than this
-```
-
-#### SLA Examples
-- **p95 < 200ms**: 95% of requests complete within 200ms
-- **p99 < 500ms**: 99% of requests complete within 500ms
-- **Error rate < 0.1%**: Less than 0.1% failed requests
-- **Throughput > 1000 RPS**: System handles 1000+ requests/sec
-
-### Analysis and Reporting
-
-#### k6 HTML Report
-```bash
-# Run test with output
-k6 run --out json=results.json load-test.js
-
-# Generate HTML report
-docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/data \
-  grafana/k6-reporter:latest \
-  /data/results.json /data/report.html
-```
-
-#### Grafana + InfluxDB Integration
-```javascript
-// k6 output to InfluxDB
-export const options = {
-  ext: {
-    loadimpact: {
-      projectID: 123456,
-      name: "API Load Test"
-    }
-  }
-};
-```
-
-```bash
-# Run with InfluxDB output
-k6 run --out influxdb=http://localhost:8086/k6db load-test.js
-```
-
-#### Performance Analysis Checklist
-- [ ] Response time meets SLA (p95, p99)
-- [ ] Error rate below threshold
-- [ ] No degradation over time (soak test)
-- [ ] System recovers from spike
-- [ ] Resource utilization acceptable (CPU < 80%, Memory < 90%)
-- [ ] Bottlenecks identified (database, API, network)
-- [ ] Scalability limits documented
-
-### Bottleneck Identification
-
-#### Common Bottlenecks
-1. **Database**:
-   - Slow queries (missing indexes)
-   - Connection pool exhaustion
-   - Lock contention
-
-2. **Application**:
-   - CPU-intensive operations
-   - Memory leaks
-   - Inefficient algorithms
-
-3. **Network**:
-   - High latency
-   - Bandwidth saturation
-   - DNS resolution delays
-
-4. **External Services**:
-   - Third-party API rate limits
-   - Slow external dependencies
-
-#### Diagnosis Commands
-```bash
-# Monitor CPU/Memory during test
-top -b -n 1 | grep myapp
-
-# Check database connections
-psql -c "SELECT count(*) FROM pg_stat_activity;"
-
-# Network latency
-ping -c 10 api.example.com
-
-# Application logs
-tail -f /var/log/app/error.log
-```
-
-## Capacity Planning
-
-### Estimate Required Capacity
-```
-Peak Traffic = Expected Daily Users × Peak Factor
-RPS Required = Peak Traffic / 86400 × Activity Rate
-Servers Needed = RPS Required / RPS Per Server
-```
-
-**Example**:
-- Expected users: 1,000,000/day
-- Peak factor: 3x (lunch rush)
-- Peak traffic: 3,000,000 requests
-- Activity rate: 10 requests/user
-- RPS required: (3,000,000 × 10) / 86400 = 347 RPS
-- RPS per server: 100
-- Servers needed: 347 / 100 = 4 servers (+ buffer = 6)
-
-### Cost Optimization
-- Right-size instances based on load test results
-- Use auto-scaling for variable traffic
-- Optimize database queries to reduce compute needs
-- Cache frequently accessed data
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Realistic Scenarios**: Model actual user behavior
-2. **Gradual Ramp**: Avoid instant load spikes (unless spike testing)
-3. **Think Time**: Add delays between requests (1-5 seconds)
-4. **Test Data**: Use production-like data volumes
-5. **Isolation**: Test in staging environment first
-6. **Monitoring**: Track application metrics during test
-7. **Baseline**: Establish performance baseline before changes
-
-## Deliverables
-
-1. **Test Scripts**: k6/Gatling/JMeter scripts
-2. **Test Report**: Metrics, graphs, bottlenecks identified
-3. **Capacity Plan**: Recommended infrastructure sizing
-4. **Performance Issues**: List of bottlenecks with severity
-5. **Recommendations**: Optimization suggestions with priority
-
-## Confidence Reporting
-
-✅ Report high confidence when:
-- Multiple test scenarios executed (smoke, load, stress)
-- SLA thresholds validated
-- Bottlenecks identified with evidence
-- Capacity recommendations provided
-- Tests run on production-like environment
-
-❌ DO NOT report >0.80 confidence without:
-- Running tests with realistic traffic patterns
-- Monitoring system resources during tests
-- Analyzing performance over extended duration
-- Validating error handling under stress

+
+### Test Scenarios
+
+#### Smoke Test (Minimal Load)
+```javascript
+// k6 smoke test
+export const options = {
+  vus: 1,                // 1 virtual user
+  duration: '1m',        // Run for 1 minute
+};
+```
+**Purpose**: Verify system works under minimal load
+
+#### Load Test (Expected Traffic)
+```javascript
+export const options = {
+  stages: [
+    { duration: '5m', target: 100 },   // Ramp to average load
+    { duration: '30m', target: 100 },  // Maintain average load
+    { duration: '5m', target: 0 },     // Ramp down
+  ],
+};
+```
+**Purpose**: Validate performance under expected traffic
+
+#### Stress Test (Beyond Capacity)
+```javascript
+export const options = {
+  stages: [
+    { duration: '5m', target: 200 },   // Ramp to above average
+    { duration: '10m', target: 300 },  // Ramp to high load
+    { duration: '5m', target: 500 },   // Stress point
+    { duration: '10m', target: 500 },  // Maintain stress
+    { duration: '5m', target: 0 },     // Recover
+  ],
+};
+```
+**Purpose**: Find breaking point and recovery behavior
+
+#### Soak Test (Endurance)
+```javascript
+export const options = {
+  stages: [
+    { duration: '5m', target: 100 },
+    { duration: '8h', target: 100 },   // Long duration
+    { duration: '5m', target: 0 },
+  ],
+};
+```
+**Purpose**: Identify memory leaks and resource degradation
+
+#### Spike Test (Sudden Load)
+```javascript
+export const options = {
+  stages: [
+    { duration: '30s', target: 100 },
+    { duration: '1m', target: 1000 },  // Sudden spike
+    { duration: '3m', target: 100 },
+    { duration: '30s', target: 0 },
+  ],
+};
+```
+**Purpose**: Test auto-scaling and sudden traffic spikes
+
+### Performance Metrics
+
+#### Key Metrics to Track
+1. **Throughput**: Requests per second (RPS)
+2. **Latency**: Response time (p50, p95, p99)
+3. **Error Rate**: Failed requests / total requests
+4. **Concurrency**: Active virtual users
+5. **Saturation**: CPU, memory, network utilization
+
+#### Response Time Percentiles
+```
+p50 (median):  50% of requests faster than this
+p95:           95% of requests faster than this
+p99:           99% of requests faster than this
+p99.9:         99.9% of requests faster than this
+```
+
+#### SLA Examples
+- **p95 < 200ms**: 95% of requests complete within 200ms
+- **p99 < 500ms**: 99% of requests complete within 500ms
+- **Error rate < 0.1%**: Less than 0.1% failed requests
+- **Throughput > 1000 RPS**: System handles 1000+ requests/sec

+```
+
+#### Performance Analysis Checklist
+- [ ] Response time meets SLA (p95, p99)
+- [ ] Error rate below threshold
+- [ ] No degradation over time (soak test)
+- [ ] System recovers from spike
+- [ ] Resource utilization acceptable (CPU < 80%, Memory < 90%)
+- [ ] Bottlenecks identified (database, API, network)
+- [ ] Scalability limits documented
+
+### Bottleneck Identification
+
+#### Common Bottlenecks
+1. **Database**:
+   - Slow queries (missing indexes)
+   - Connection pool exhaustion
+   - Lock contention
+
+2. **Application**:
+   - CPU-intensive operations
+   - Memory leaks
+   - Inefficient algorithms
+
+3. **Network**:
+   - High latency
+   - Bandwidth saturation
+   - DNS resolution delays
+
+4. **External Services**:
+   - Third-party API rate limits
+   - Slow external dependencies
+
+#### Diagnosis Commands
+```bash
+# Monitor CPU/Memory during test
+top -b -n 1 | grep myapp
+
+# Check database connections
+psql -c "SELECT count(*) FROM pg_stat_activity;"
+
+# Network latency
+ping -c 10 api.example.com
+
+# Application logs
+tail -f /var/log/app/error.log
+```
+
+## Capacity Planning
+
+### Estimate Required Capacity
+```
+Peak Traffic = Expected Daily Users × Peak Factor
+RPS Required = Peak Traffic / 86400 × Activity Rate
+Servers Needed = RPS Required / RPS Per Server
+```
+
+**Example**:
+- Expected users: 1,000,000/day
+- Peak factor: 3x (lunch rush)
+- Peak traffic: 3,000,000 requests
+- Activity rate: 10 requests/user
+- RPS required: (3,000,000 × 10) / 86400 = 347 RPS
+- RPS per server: 100
+- Servers needed: 347 / 100 = 4 servers (+ buffer = 6)
+
+### Cost Optimization
+- Right-size instances based on load test results
+- Use auto-scaling for variable traffic
+- Optimize database queries to reduce compute needs
+- Cache frequently accessed data
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Realistic Scenarios**: Model actual user behavior
+2. **Gradual Ramp**: Avoid instant load spikes (unless spike testing)
+3. **Think Time**: Add delays between requests (1-5 seconds)
+4. **Test Data**: Use production-like data volumes
+5. **Isolation**: Test in staging environment first
+6. **Monitoring**: Track application metrics during test
+7. **Baseline**: Establish performance baseline before changes
+
+## Deliverables
+
+1. **Test Scripts**: k6/Gatling/JMeter scripts
+2. **Test Report**: Metrics, graphs, bottlenecks identified
+3. **Capacity Plan**: Recommended infrastructure sizing
+4. **Performance Issues**: List of bottlenecks with severity
+5. **Recommendations**: Optimization suggestions with priority
+
+## Confidence Reporting
+
+✅ Report high confidence when:
+- Multiple test scenarios executed (smoke, load, stress)
+- SLA thresholds validated
+- Bottlenecks identified with evidence
+- Capacity recommendations provided
+- Tests run on production-like environment
+
+❌ DO NOT report >0.80 confidence without:
+- Running tests with realistic traffic patterns
+- Monitoring system resources during tests
+- Analyzing performance over extended duration
+- Validating error handling under stress
