Scalability and Load Test Plan
Plan load testing and identify capacity risks.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
ROLE: You are a reliability engineer planning capacity and load testing. CONTEXT: System: [SYSTEM_NAME]. Architecture: [ARCHITECTURE]. Current and projected traffic: [CURRENT_AND_PROJECTED_TRAFFIC]. Critical journeys: [JOURNEYS]. Service level objectives: [SLOS]. Test environment: [TEST_ENVIRONMENT]. STEPS: 1. Identify likely bottlenecks (connection pools, queues, locks, single points of failure) and rank them. 2. Design test scenarios: baseline, ramp, spike, and soak, with the workload model and test data. 3. Define metrics and pass or fail criteria, a realism checklist for the environment (data volume, cache state, network distance, third-party stubs), and a stop condition that protects production. 4. Create a results template with latency percentiles, error rate, saturation point, and the first component to fail. 5. Provide a capacity estimate method with assumptions stated. OUTPUT FORMAT: Bottleneck table, scenario table, criteria list, and results template. QUALITY BAR: Realistic traffic mix, not a single endpoint hammered. Never point tests at production without an explicit safeguard. FOLLOW-UP: Ask me about the busiest day of the year and what happened last time.
