Congratulations on completing this learning path! Job well done!

You’ve accomplished the following:

• Learned what p95/p99 latency, throughput, and error rate mean as baseline metrics
• Designed a load profile using the ramping-vus executor with ramp-up, steady-state, and ramp-down stages
• Added checks to validate response correctness alongside performance
• Ran a load test and interpreted the k6 summary output, including percentiles and averages
• Identified baseline values from test results and recorded them as benchmarks
• Added thresholds to enforce your baseline as automated pass/fail criteria
• Validated that thresholds produce the correct exit codes for CI/CD integration
• Saved and shared results in k6 Cloud for historical comparison and team visibility
