// MISSION BRIEF
Your Mission
k6 makes it easy to generate load and just as easy to generate nonsense. This quiz is about the judgment calls: what checks and thresholds actually do, which executor models your traffic, and why a run with no assertions can "pass" against a stream of error pages.
// FIRST CONTACT
Battle teaser
In k6, checks vs thresholds:
- AChecks fail the run; thresholds are informational
- BNeither affects the exit code
- CThey are the same feature
- DChecks are per-response assertions (informational, do not fail the run); thresholds are pass/fail criteria (e.g. p95<500ms) that set the exit code
Answers, scoring, hints, and the full battle stay sealed.
