Your question is Performance Testing Execution Approach. Take a moment with it on the right.
Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).
You are preparing a service for a high-traffic release and need to make sure performance testing is done in a way that is credible, repeatable, and useful for launch decisions. You want to show that you can define clear pass/fail criteria, align on what risks matter most, and make sure the right stakeholders trust the results.
What is your experience with performance testing, and how would you plan and execute it for a release like this?
