    Sample input

    I need to test my new checkout API. We expect 500 orders per hour at peak. Help me build a performance plan and a Gatling script that simulates this load safely.

    Sample output

    Project scaffold ready!

    • Created CheckoutSimulation.java with a ramp-up to 500 arrivals/hour.
    • Added 95th percentile response time assertions (<200ms).
    • I've included a 'Discovery + Baseline' phase in the attached Test Plan as no 99th percentile SLAs were provided.
    • Compiled via mvn test-compile: SUCCESS.

    About This Skill

    Enterprise-Grade Performance Testing Framework

    Transform your performance testing from guesswork into an ISTQB-aligned engineering discipline. This skill acts as a senior performance architect and Gatling expert to help you design, review, and scaffold robust test suites for any architecture—from microservices to monoliths.

    What it does

    • Strategic Planning: Generates comprehensive performance test plans including risk assessments, environment requirements, and success criteria.
    • Workload Modeling: Converts user personas into detailed operational profiles and load models (Smoke, Load, Stress, Spike, Soak).
    • Gatling Scaffolding: Produces ready-to-run, modular Gatling projects using Java, Scala, or Kotlin DSLs with clean separation of concerns.
    • Expert Review: Analyzes your existing test plans against a 100-point rubric to identify gaps in coverage or unrealistic SLAs.
    • SLA Discovery: Provides a "Discovery + Baseline" framework for projects lacking clear non-functional requirements.

    Why use this skill?

    Unlike basic LLM prompts that generate generic scripts, this skill follows rigorous ISTQB principles. It ensures your tests are safe, realistic, and maintainable. It handles complex logic like open/closed injection models, realistic think times, and data feeders, while automatically verifying code via compilation checks to ensure the output is implementation-ready.

    Supported Tooling

    While the default is Gatling (Java/Scala/Kotlin), the skill can adapt to other performance tools upon request. It generates standard build configurations for Maven and Gradle.

    Use Cases

    • Generate modular Gatling simulations with realistic user behavior profiles.
    • Review existing performance test plans for gaps in risk-based coverage.
    • Calculate load models from production traffic or business peak requirements.
    • Establish baseline SLAs for applications with missing performance requirements.
    • Scaffold a complete Gatling project structure with Maven/Gradle integration.
