Selecting and executing advanced load profiles—baseline, capacity-envelope, breakpoint, stress, spike, ramp, soak and recovery—using bracketed boundaries, scenario-specific validity, phase isolation and server-side evidence. Use when one steady run is presented as capacity, when overload and SLO boundaries are conflated, when burst/recovery or long-duration resource retention must be tested, or when automation parses generator output. Basic workload validity belongs to load-testing; coordinated omission to coordinated-omission; statistical inference to latency-statistics; provisioning to capacity-planning.
