The IT leader who signed off is in a room with their CIO, trying to explain why the numbers fail to match the projections.

SLI, SLO, SLA: What They Mean for Load Testing

Most engineers can recite these three terms. Fewer know how they actually connect during a load test. If your team is running performance tests without mapping results to SLOs, you're collecting data without a pass/fail signal.
