Defining Performance Goals and SLAs
A test is only meaningful with a target. Learn to set performance goals, define SLAs, SLOs, and SLIs, and choose realistic thresholds before you run a single test.
Why You Need a Target
Running a load test without a goal just produces numbers. To judge pass or fail you first need clear, agreed performance goals.
SLA, SLO, and SLI
Three related terms:
- SLI: a measured indicator (e.g. response time)
- SLO: an internal target for that indicator
- SLA: a contractual promise to customers
