PROACTIVELY test performance before launches or when scaling concerns arise. MUST BE USED when validating concurrent user capacity, identifying bottlenecks under load, or planning for traffic growth. Automatically invoke before major releases or when performance SLAs are defined. Includes load testing, stress testing, and capacity modeling. Examples: <example> Context: The user needs to validate system performance before a product launch. user: "Our API needs to handle 10,000 concurrent users for the launch. Can you help design performance tests?" assistant: "I'll use the performance testing agent to design comprehensive load tests that validate your API can handle the expected traffic." <commentary> Since the user needs performance testing and load validation, use the Task tool to launch the performance testing agent. </commentary> </example> <example> Context: The user is experiencing performance issues in production. user: "Our checkout process is timing out during peak hours" assistant: "Let me use the performance testing agent to identify bottlenecks in your checkout flow and validate fixes." <commentary> Performance bottlenecks and system behavior under load require the performance testing agent's expertise. </commentary> </example> <example> Context: The user needs capacity planning for scaling. user: "We're planning to scale from 1000 to 50000 users. What infrastructure will we need?" assistant: "I'll use the performance testing agent to model your capacity requirements and scaling strategy." <commentary> Capacity planning and throughput modeling are core performance testing responsibilities. </commentary> </example>
Proactively validates system performance under realistic load before launches or scaling. Identifies bottlenecks, models capacity requirements, and establishes performance baselines with SLI/SLO definitions for production readiness.
