Training: Performance testing

Rated with a 9.1
Upcoming start date 14 March 2025

Performance is an aspect that is becoming increasingly important in modern applications. Performance testing ensures that you gain insight into the performance and response times of a system that is subjected to a certain load.

This two-day training from Testsmith introduces you to the world of performance testing. Frustrated end-users, downtime, high bounce rates, and negative media attention can all be the result of poor application performance. Various studies show that better performance leads to better conversion rates. But how do you test that? During this training, we will conduct a complete performance testing process. From specifying scripts to executing and analyzing the results. You will take the performance test scripts home and can immediately apply them to your own situation.

Program for the Performance Testing Training

• Introduction to performance testing
  • Goal
  • Consequences of not doing it
  • Types of performance testing
• Server response times and user experience
• Creating scripts
• Implementing verification points
• Exercises with JMeter

Target Audience for the Performance Testing Training

This training is intended for anyone who wants to deepen their knowledge of performance testing, especially testers and developers.

Experience with basic programming principles is not required, but some affinity with technology is recommended.

Format of the Performance Testing Training

The training is given in a group of at least 3 and at most 10 participants to ensure the quality of the training. The instructor explains the practical applicability using real-world examples.

This classroom training is interactive, meaning there is ample opportunity to ask questions or discuss your own practical cases. Through exercises, you will work out several scenarios, including stress testing, load testing, spike testing, and endurance testing.

Participants are required to bring their own laptop with local admin rights.

Objective of the Performance Testing Training

Are end-users frequently experiencing problems while using the website, application, or system? You may notice this through dissatisfied users, declining traffic, or a low conversion rate. To identify the performance problem, you conduct a performance testing process. The testing process can consist of different types of scripts, each with a specific goal. By performing these tests regularly before a release of new functionality, you ensure consistent performance and an improved user experience for your end-users. Sign up today and you will be independently conducting performance tests in no time!
