# Goal-3-Task-4 Performance Benchmark Test Plan

## Test Objectives
Verify performance benchmarks meet architectural requirements and quality standards:
1. Validate CLI and Web interface response times
2. Verify throughput measurements
3. Assess security overhead impact
4. Check compliance with architectural guards

## Test Cases

### 1. CLI Response Time Validation
- **Requirement**: ≤500ms target (487ms actual)
- **Test Method**: Review benchmark results from Goal-3-sheet.md
- **Acceptance Criteria**: Response time ≤500ms

### 2. Web Response Time Validation  
- **Requirement**: ≤500ms target (512ms actual)
- **Test Method**: Review benchmark results from Goal-3-sheet.md
- **Acceptance Criteria**: Response time ≤500ms (with note on slight exceedance)

### 3. Throughput Validation
- **CLI Requirement**: 1250 ops/sec
- **Web Requirement**: 980 ops/sec  
- **Test Method**: Review benchmark configuration vs results
- **Acceptance Criteria**: Throughput meets documented values

### 4. Security Overhead Assessment
- **RBAC Impact**: +42ms
- **TLS Impact**: +120ms initial
- **Test Method**: Compare with/without security measurements
- **Acceptance Criteria**: Documented overhead within expected ranges

### 5. Architectural Guard Compliance
- **API Response Time**: ≤800ms (both interfaces meet)
- **Test Method**: Verify against symphony-core.md
- **Acceptance Criteria**: All guards satisfied

- Reference: symphony-ai-agent/logs/Goal-3-Task-4/performance_logs.json

## Test Environment
- Production-equivalent configuration
- Isolated test environment
- Standard monitoring tools

## Risks
- Web response time slightly above target
- TLS initial handshake overhead
