+#   LOAD_CPUS: Specifies CPUs on which to run a CPU-intensive task. If not set, defaults to an empty string.
+#   MEASUREMENT_CPU: Designates the CPU to monitor during the test. If not set, defaults to an empty string.
+#   THRESHOLD: Determines a latency threshold. Default is 150.
+#   TRACE_CMD: If set to 'y', trace-cmd will be utilized. Options are 'y' or 'n'. Default is 'n'.
+#   SET_BREAK: If set to 'y', a break point is created. Options are 'y' or 'n'. Default is 'n'.
+#   GEN_REPORT: If active ('y'), a report will be generated post-test. Choices include 'y' or 'n'. Default is 'n'.
+#   DURATION: Specifies the duration of the test. Default value is 720 minutes (12 hours).
+#   DELAY: Dictates the initial delay in seconds before the test starts. Default is 0 seconds.
+#   ONLYLOAD: If set to 'y', only the loading test will be executed. Options are 'y' or 'n'. Default is 'n'.
+#   QUIET: If enabled ('y'), the tool operates in quiet mode. Options are 'y' or 'n'. Default is 'n'.
+#   VERBOSE: If set to 'y', the tool operates in verbose mode. Options are 'y' or 'n'. Default is 'n'. Overrides QUIET.
+#   PAUSE: If set to 'y', a pause is induced after the test completes. Options are 'y' or 'n'. Default is 'n'.
+#   MANUAL: If enabled ('y'), allows for manual initiation of the test. Options are 'y' or 'n'. Default is 'n'.
+#   EXTRA_ARGS: Permits custom options to be added. Default is blank. Provide as a space-separated list.
+#   EVENTS: Lists multiple trace events. Default includes a combination of scheduler, IRQ, and softIRQ events. Events should be provided in a comma-separated manner.
+#   LIST_TRACE_EVENTS: If set to 'y', lists available trace events and exits. Options are 'y' or 'n'. Default is 'n'.
