# Performance Testing

> Performance requirements for certification

# Performance Testing

Validate your integration meets performance requirements before production.

## Performance Benchmarks

| Metric            | Requirement                        |
| ----------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| **Response Time** | \< 2 seconds for 95th percentile   |
| **Throughput**    | Handle expected transaction volume |
| **Error Rate**    | \< 0.1% under normal load          |
| **Availability**  | 99.9% uptime capability            |

## Testing Scenarios

### Load Testing

* Simulate expected peak traffic
* Verify response times under load
* Check resource utilization

### Stress Testing

* Push beyond normal limits
* Identify breaking points
* Verify graceful degradation

### Endurance Testing

* Sustained load over time
* Check for memory leaks
* Verify consistent performance

## Performance Checklist

* [ ] Response times within SLA
* [ ] Error handling under load
* [ ] Connection pooling configured
* [ ] Retry logic implemented
* [ ] Timeout handling proper

## Recommended Tools

* Apache JMeter
* k6
* Locust
* Artillery

## Submission

Provide performance test results including:

* Test scenarios and scripts
* Results summary
* Load profiles used
* Environment details
