Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

It’s Black Friday and you are expecting a lot of sales this year. The big moment arrives and before anyone can even make order your site crashes because it was not performant enough. It might seem farfetched, but this actually happens to some big names in the industry and you really don’t want to lose sales because of something that can be avoided so easily. 

In this hands-on, practical reference guide we will go beyond the basics of JMeter and show you how to test your application’s performance and unlock its full potential. We’ll go over all of the components before we teach you how to predict and manage the load. You can easily follow along as we create our first test plans in a way that applies to your work. Besides all of this, every chapter will include a quiz for added knowledge retention. 

Don’t miss out on the benefits of this course and learn how to predict the performance of your application under load before it goes down and you miss out on sales.
