description: A new style of functional test, focused on performance testing for now

Journeys are a slightly newer take on Functional Tests, currently powered by [playwright](https://playwright.dev/docs).

A Journey is a single pathway through Kibana and looks something like this:

```ts
import { Journey } from '@kbn/journeys';
import { subj } from '@kbn/test-subj-selector';

export const journey = new Journey({
  esArchives: [ ... ],
  kbnArchives: [ ... ],
  scalabilitySetup: { ... },
})
  .step('Go to Discover Page', async ({ page, kbnUrl }) => {
    await page.goto(kbnUrl.get(`/app/discover`));
    await page.waitForSelector(subj('discoverDocTable'));
  })

  .step('Expand the first document', async ({ page }) => {
    const expandButtons = page.locator(subj('docTableExpandToggleColumn'));
    await expandButtons.first().click();
    await page.locator('text="Expanded document"');
  });
```
