Error Rate - CI/CD Glossary Definition

Error rate is the fraction of requests that fail, usually expressed as a percentage of total requests over a time window and often split by status class such as HTTP 5xx.

A load-test stop condition

Error rate is a standard threshold in load tests: a run is often failed automatically once errors exceed a small percentage, since latency numbers stop being meaningful when requests are erroring.
