ATC-PTJ - Performance Testing with JMeter

Overview

Duration: 3.0 days

The Apache JMeter application is ure Java application designed to load test functional behaviour and measure performance. Use JMeter to test performance both on static and dynamic resources, and Web dynamic applications. Use JMeter to simulate load on a server, group of servers, network or object to test its strength and analyze overall performance under different load types. This workshop provides a rich interactive learning experience with incremental lessons and labs that build upon one another.

Objectives

• Understand the components of a load test and how to set them up 
• Plan your test execution parameters to simulate real users 
• Use correlation, parameterization, and regular expressions to avoid errors 
• Monitor your tests, analyze logs, and produce actionable results
