There are a number of tools available for the performance testing these days.
For the last 10+ years, open-source Apache JMeter free performance tool is stable and statistically is number-one having 50%+ on the market.
Apache JMeter is highly popular and applicable for all any types of Web and Mobile client front-to-server sides performance testing, and it's knowledge and practical application, is recommended to IT full-stack Developers, Quality Assurance Analysts, Quality Assurance Engineers, User Acceptance, general Quality Management, Project Managers, Business Analysts and interested project stakeholders.
Also, JMeter knowledge is highly recommended to start learning modern software testing for the functional and regression parts and practically is mandatory in the current present times.
This free JMeter for the performance testing course is divided in the following parts:
a. Performance Testing Fundamentals
b. Apache JMeter introduction and quick download with installation guide
c. design and create basic quick performance test case, add Thread Group(s), Listeners and Samples
d. practically apply Blazemeter for the Apache JMeter test cases Record-and-Playback scenarios
e. design, create, record and playback realistic, everyday performance test cases scenarios
f. differentiate between "imaginary wants" and "realistic needs" for the performance testing concept
g. understand the importance of performance testing environment, virtual users and business transactions metrics
Upon this course completion, you will acquire confidence in performance testing practical application using JMeter with everyday realistic test cases design, development and execution.
Important User Notice:
1. before, when majority organizations had their dedicated servers on-premises, the major performance testing 75-80% issue was a lack of memory space, known to professionals as "bottlenecks".
2. present times, while you need to create an identical performance testing environment, well-known Cloud Services providers such as Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Google Cloud Provider (GCP) services are provisioned with principles of economies of scale, long-existing "bottlenecks" are removed.
3. All of them, Azure, AWS and GCP are offering almost identical Cloud Computing, High Availability, Scalability, Elasticity, Agility, Fault Tolerance and Disaster Recovery guaranties for the typical organizational needs and wants.
4. Remember: all your test plans/cases (functional, regression) have to be officially approved before execution, but performance test cases additionally, have to meet approved by organization's business SLA (Service Level Agreement), basically a number of virtual users vs server(s) throughput business transactions in limited time period.
