Performance Testing Using JMeter:Beginner to Industry-Expert

Discover what's new in JMeter 4, including the default theme, workbench removal, built-in test plan recording, Java 8-9 support, JSON assertion, boundary extraction, and automatic test plan saving.

Discover what's new in jmeter 5 compared with 4, including ui changes, improved recording with name prefixes, and enhanced http request options like multipart form data and file uploads.

Understand performance testing and how it differs from functional testing by evaluating how applications perform under varying user loads, memory, network, and CPU usage, and non-functional results like response time.

Explore the main types of performance testing: load, stress, volume, endurance, and spike testing, and learn how each reveals when performance degrades.

Explore how a test plan forms the test suite in JMeter, organizing thread groups as test cases and threads as users to run tests sequentially or in parallel, with variables.

Learn to use JMeter samplers (including http request) to send requests, listeners to generate reports, assertions to validate responses, and timers and controllers to control execution flow.

Explore how config elements, preprocessor, and post-processor shape JMeter tests, including CSV data set config, user defined variables, and counters before execution and after responses.

Learn how to record scripts in JMeter 5, set up proxy and SSL certificates in the browser, and organize steps into login, registration, and navigation recording controllers.

Learn how to record end-to-end scripts in JMeter 4.0 using the http script recorder, proxy browser settings, and recording controllers for login and registration.

Record in JMeter 4.0 while excluding JavaScript, CSS, and icons to focus on HTML performance; create two recordings—one with and one without assets—for the home, registration, and login pages.

Learn how to record scripts on Chrome using JMeter's HTTPS Test Script Recorder; configure browser proxy to localhost:8888, install the certificate, select a target controller, and start recording web scenarios.

learn how to record performance scenarios in jmeter using badboy, export the script to jmeter, and run multi-user tests to capture http requests.

Learn how to record a JMeter test using the Blazemeter chrome plugin, from account setup and plugin installation to recording steps and exporting a JMeter test plan.

Understand the predefined execution order in jmeter, from config element and preprocessors to timer, sampler, post-processor, assertions, and listener, with http sampler and url variable.

Explore execution order in JMeter, where samplers and logic controllers are ordered, timers run before samplers, and child priorities shape, with assertions and listeners reporting at case and plan levels.

Discover the JMeter environment with a hands-on walkthrough of run and remote start, stop and shut down operations, and using listeners, function helper, and log viewer to manage tests.

Learn how to use and create templates in JMeter, using predefined test plans such as soap web service or BeanShell, saving custom templates, and applying them to accelerate automation.

Build a basic JMeter test plan with a five-thread thread group, five HTTP requests for home, scenario, register, login, and admin login, and a three-second delay.

Declare variables in the JMeter test plan to reuse the base URL across samplers by using a user defined variable with ${URL}, noting that variable names are case sensitive.

Learn to group requests with logic and simple controllers in JMeter, organizing login and page navigation steps and generating controller-level reports.

Learn how JMeter's simple, random, and random order controllers manage samplers; random executes one child, while random order runs all in a random sequence, with login scenarios clarified.

Explore how the interleave controller in JMeter executes one child at a time in top-to-bottom order, contrasting it with the random controller's behavior across loops.

Master the loop controller in JMeter to run samplers multiple times. Login and admin run once while the home page loops five times inside a loop controller.

Learn how to use the if controller in JMeter to conditionally execute steps based on a JavaScript-style condition like value <= 10, with a test plan and SQL step.

Explore how to control test flow in JMeter with the only one controller, a loop controller, and runtime and module controllers to run login once and repeat steps across iterations.

Use the runtime controller to execute requests within a set time, like two seconds, automatically stopping when time ends; it can loop within that window without a separate loop controller.

Learn how to use the module controller in JMeter to make test steps reusable, calling a simple controller from multiple places and across thread groups.

Learn to apply constant timer and uniform random timer in JMeter to insert pauses between requests, control delay ranges, and manage execution order for realistic testing scenarios.

Learn how the synchronizing timer makes multiple users wait until a specified number reach a point, then trigger the next sampler concurrently, with optional timeout.

Learn to use the http request default config in JMeter to set a common base URL and enter remaining paths as relative URLs, simplifying updates.

Configure http cookie manager and http cache manager in JMeter to manage cookies and caches, enabling session handling and optional clearing between iterations.

Learn how to define multiple variables in a user defined variable config element, reference them in requests, and manage global versus thread group scope in JMeter test plans.

Create a CSP dataset config with a CSP file of variables and values. Load data from this CSP file into test variables and reuse them across thread groups.

Discover how the JMeter counter generates numeric data for requests (like to www.gmail.com), with configurable start, increment, and max values stored in age and exposed via debug sampler.

Learn how to use JMeter's random variable to generate numeric values like an age between 10 and 100, view results with a debug sampler, and control repeatability with seed.

Explore how to apply duration and size assertions in JMeter to validate response time and response size, ensuring performance targets across test cases.

Validate the html of responses with the html assertion in JMeter, checking for errors and warnings, and configure error and warning thresholds to pass or fail pages.

Explore how to use response assertion in JMeter to validate responses, set contains or not contains checks, and apply assertions at test case or request level with assertion result listeners.
