System Performance Testing – Overview and Case Study

In Part A we will get an overview of the system performance testing process which includes:

Concepts – Understanding of performance testing concepts and techniques, including load testing, stress testing, and capacity planning.

Common Tools – Knowledge of performance testing tools, such as Apache JMeter, Gatling, and LoadRunner.

Types of Systems/Plantforms to be tested – An understanding of how to design and execute performance tests for various types of systems, including web applications, databases, and middleware systems.

Metrics – Understanding of performance metrics, such as response time, throughput, and resource utilization, and the ability to interpret test results.

Performance Tuning – Knowledge of performance tuning techniques and best practices, such as caching, database optimization, and network optimization.

Bottlenecks – Understanding of how to identify and diagnose performance bottlenecks in a system.

Developers – Ability to work with development teams to identify performance requirements and ensure that performance is integrated into the development process.

Production Systems – Knowledge of how to monitor production systems to detect performance issues and take proactive measures to prevent them.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have access to the course materials?

You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.

Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?

Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don’t have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That’s up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
