SLOs and release gates should be used to support release readiness.
- Create standards and patterns for performance tests, including structure, tagging, baselines, thresholds and reporting.
- Design a scalable performance test suite architecture with reusable workloads, protected non-production execution and clear ownership by product or journey.
- Prioritise coverage based on risk, including critical user flows, high-volume APIs, latency-sensitive paths and large-data UI scenarios.
- Implement and maintain the core performance framework and tooling using k6, Gatling, JMeter or equivalent tools.
- Author and review scripts, scenarios and harness code to support reliable and repeatable performance testing.
