    pm.expect(pm.response.responseTime).to.be.below(5000);
});
```

### Data Quality Validation

## 🚨 Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

1. **Connection Refused**
   - Verify API server is running (`npm start`)
   - Check port 3000 is available
   - Verify `baseUrl` variable

2. **Empty Responses**
   - Check database connection
   - Verify sample data is loaded
   - Review query parameters

3. **Context Errors**
   - Ensure session ID is consistent
   - Check follow-up query sequence
   - Verify context manager state

4. **Performance Issues**
   - Monitor response times
   - Check database query performance
   - Review server resources

### Debug Steps
1. **Check Health**: Run health check first
2. **Verify Database**: Check database info endpoint
3. **Test Basic Query**: Try simple rental trend query
4. **Review Logs**: Check server console output
5. **Validate Data**: Ensure sample data is loaded
