Performance Testing Architecture

Summary​

Existing executable validation and missing automated test architecture.

Audience​

Engineers, architects, QA, support, security reviewers, and operators working with the Performance module.

Overview​

A comprehensive PowerShell smoke script exercises canonical lifecycle, optional Workflow, notifications, reports, compatibility, Gateway, and backfill modes. Backfill also has smoke-support and parity-validation code. No dedicated Performance unit or integration test project and no Performance HTTP collection were found.

Confirmed implementation​

  • The smoke script can start dependencies and exercise multiple feature modes.
  • It checks audit, timeline, outbox, Workflow guards, callback idempotency, reports, compatibility, Gateway, and backfill behavior.
  • Backfill validation compares source and target aggregates.
  • Recommended future coverage is not current behavior and remains Foundation.

Classification​

Transitional testing: broad smoke coverage, but automated unit and integration suites are Not implemented.

Requires confirmation​

CI ownership, repeatable test environment, coverage thresholds, test-data policy, and contract-test ownership require confirmation.
