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

• Source: symphony-ai-agent/tasks/Goal-3/Goal-3-sheet.md
• 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
