## After baseline: stress, spike, soak

| Level          | Test type | Question                          | Where you are                                               |
|----------------|-----------|-----------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------|
| **Foundation** | Baseline  | “What does normal look like?”     | You are here                                                |
| Next           | Stress    | “Where does performance degrade?” | [k6 test types](/docs/k6/latest/testing-guides/test-types/) |
| Next           | Spike     | “Can we survive a traffic burst?” | [k6 test types](/docs/k6/latest/testing-guides/test-types/) |
| Next           | Soak      | “Does anything break over hours?” | [k6 test types](/docs/k6/latest/testing-guides/test-types/) |
