Crafting right foundation for future Performance Experts
Who in software industry is not bothered about System Performance? This course is designed to impart the basic conceptual knowledge on Performance testing for anyone who is part of SDLC phases, who cares about system performance. Performance Testing is not just about using a commercial tool to carry out multi-user tests. This course will teach you the concepts & systematic steps involved in planning software performance testing, highlighting the essentials in a tool agnostic way.
This unique course will serve as the best first course for QA professionals, who are interested to jump start their career in Performance testing. This course will also serve as a guide for Performance testers to unlearn the wrong myths & beliefs they carry & to learn what it requires to plan for successful Performance test validation & certification for a software system This course will help in building performance testing knowledge with a holistic mindset to have successful career as a Performance Engineer.
Through this course, warm up your mind with the right foundation to get geared up before learning tools & advanced concepts. All great things are built on strong foundation. Dont be in a hurry to move forward without laying right foundation.
The course includes interactive lesson videos (as in the course curriculum), self-assessment questions with answers (#50), practical case study exercises (#2) with detailed strategic solutions & downloadable templates (Performance Test Plan & Performance Test Report) with a course completion certificate upon completing the final assessment quiz.
We can bet atleast 80% of Performance Testers who are tool experts (LoadRunner, JMeter , etc), are not good in Test Strategy development, when to run what tests & its significance, how to improve test accuracy, how to interpret performance test results rightly, how to analyze test result analysis, how to plan for bottleneck isolation strategies, etc. This course will help you to take the first step rightly in Performance Testing space.
