📊 Real-World Example:

1. Write Your Load Test using the K6 JavaScript API to create simple and realistic tests.

   export let options = {
     thresholds: {
       "http_req_duration": ["p(90)<300"],
       "failed requests": ["rate<0.15"]
     }
   };
   

2. Define Pass and Fail Criteria for your performance tests, ensuring your application's performance goals are met.
3. Execute the Test to verify pass/fail behavior, and run it with different load configurations to cover various scenarios.
4. Automate Your Performance and Load Tests, schedule regular test runs, and integrate them into your CI pipelines for continuous confidence in your system's performance.
5. Receive Alerts on Performance Regressions by setting up notifications that inform you when any change impacts your performance benchmarks.
6. Visualize Test Results using Grafana dashboards to provide stakeholders with a comprehensive view of test metrics and live execution data.
