Performance Testing & Distributed Load Testing Course
By: Japneet Sachdeva
TL;DR/ Key Takeaways:
- Learn performance testing fundamentals and the differences between performance, load, and stress testing
- Identify what to measure: response time, latency, throughput, percentiles, and error rate
- Set up Java and JMeter correctly and validate your environment before running tests
- Build JMeter test plans using Test Plan, Thread Group, Samplers, and Listeners
- Model realistic traffic with thread count, ramp up, loops, and user pacing
- Improve realism using timers to add think time and randomness between actions
- Add assertions to validate correctness under load, not just speed
- Use HTTP config elements when needed, including headers, cookies, and cache behavior
- Run higher scale tests efficiently using non GUI execution and report generation
- Scale beyond a single machine using distributed load testing to generate more concurrent users
Course description:
This hands-on course gives you a complete, practical introduction to performance testing; from software installation and basic test design to advanced, production-grade distributed load testing using Docker.
You’ll learn how to create realistic user scenarios, test APIs end to end, validate responses, work with data-driven inputs, and run tests efficiently from the command line with detailed HTML reports.
By the end, you’ll know how to design, execute, and analyze large-scale load tests and have the skills to apply JMeter confidently in real QA, DevOps, and engineering environments.
