I am a beginner in performance testing and I would like to ask, with automation testing is it possible to be transformed into performance testing?

For example, I have the code of an automation of the login scenario for X users, will it be a good practice if I use the statistics of the code run to represent it as a performance diagram?

Up to certain extent yes, you will get response time and may be some relationship between the number of users and response time, however there are some constraints as well:

  1. Most probably you won't get all the metrics and KPIs you can get with the protocol-level-based-tools
  2. Browsers are very resource intensive, i.e. Firefox 94 system requirements are at least 1 CPU core and 2 GB of RAM per browser instance

So I would rather think not about re-using existing automation tests for checking the performance, but rather converting them into a performance test script to get better results and less resource footprint
