Performance Testing Strategy Designer

Guides QA engineers through designing a complete, structured performance testing strategy by gathering context through targeted questions and applying industry best practices.

Important: Always gather context first (Step 1) before producing any output. Do not skip to recommendations without understanding the system and its constraints.

Output Format

After completing Step 1, deliver a strategy document with these sections:

1. System Under Test (SUT) summary — what you understood about the application
2. Recommended test sequence — which test types to run and in what order, with rationale
3. Per-test definition — for each type: goal, user load, duration, ramp-up, success criteria
4. Metrics to collect — response times, throughput, error rates, infrastructure metrics
5. Risks and prerequisites — what must be in place before testing starts
