Analyze Details and Summary5:00
Analyze page performance with sitespeed to extract detailed metrics and a concise summary. Generate automated reports, prioritize critical violations, and share findings with stakeholders to guide release decisions.

Context3:51
Explore the meaning of context in web test automation by examining how information is parsed across multiple scripts and how a browser interacts with scripts during Sitespeed workflows.
Script with Selenium Web Driver13:46
Learn to write a Selenium WebDriver script that navigates to a website, clicks a menu button using XPath and actions, and measures page performance.
Script without Selenium Web Driver15:14
Learn to write a script that navigates a web page and measures performance without Selenium, using Sitespeed, XPath expressions, and Firefox.
Script for Login to website18:37
Automate a website login with a script that enters credentials, waits for elements, and clicks login, while measuring performance across browsers using Sitespeed.
Environment Variables7:27
Learn to use environment variables to store sensitive data like usernames and passwords in a web performance test pipeline, keeping secrets out of code and results.
Quiz Scripts

Influxdb Database5:23
Learn to pass real-time performance data to an InfluxDB database during test execution, store it for live dashboards, and interpret the stored results.
Create Database1:43
Create and initialize a database via a command line interface to store and query web performance test results, including inserting data into the database.
Grafana Dashboard9:09
Set up a Grafana dashboard to visualize web performance results by configuring an InfluxDB data source, importing a ready-made dashboard, and sharing live metrics with stakeholders.
Git Pipeline18:17
Establish a git-driven pipeline that runs continuous integration using environment variables, runners, and docker images, executing scripts to measure web page performance and generate downloadable artifacts.
Quiz Influxdb/Grafana/Git
Conclusion12:57
Apply a basic governance framework to detect browser performance defects, speed index issues, and security and accessibility concerns, and share actionable reports with stakeholders, managers, and developers.

Sporadic Failures in Identifying UI Elements3:15
Identify sporadic failures in UI element identification during web performance test automation with Sitespeed. Close browser instances before tests and ensure proper navigation and element interactions for reliable measurements.
Execute Script inside Docker3:15
Execute a test script inside Docker by controlling browser instances, closing running Chrome or Firefox to troubleshoot sporadic failures, start measurements, and generate performance reports.

Install Docker2:59
Learn to set up docker on an Amazon EC2 instance, update and upgrade apt packages, install dependencies, and configure permissions as part of web performance test automation using Sitespeed.
Install Graphite1:27
Install the graphite database by running the installation command, download the image from Tokoroa, and verify the container is up and running.
Install Grafana4:40
Install Grafana to power the dashboard, install Graphite as a backend, start services, and verify Grafana and Graphite are running with default credentials.
Link Graphite and Grafana3:51
Link graphite to grafana by creating a graphite datasource in grafana and importing a prebuilt dashboard in json to visualize performance metrics from graphite for web test automation.
Install Sitespeed and Execute Test6:15
Install Sitespeed and run a docker-based test to measure web performance across wiki and google. Collect metrics and logs, review results in the dashboard, and adjust firewall settings as needed.
Execute Test4:23
Execute a web performance test automation with Sitespeed to analyze page metrics such as CPU, local storage, and JavaScript size, troubleshoot parameter configurations, and adjust test inputs to improve results.

Important Note

This is part 1 of the training. It's very basic. We will learn simple techniques to do browser-based performance testing. You can easily learn and apply the techniques in your projects. We expect that you explore more and learn while designing scripts.

Random Clicks

You will find this section inside the course curriculum. It contains random thoughts, more examples, troubleshooting, some audio clips. While uploading this training, I have observed that I need to cover a few things in more depth. So, I thought to record a new Video and upload inside the Random Clicks section.
