Performance Testing
It is a software testing process used for testing the speed, response time, stability, reliability, scalability and resource usage of a software application under particular workload. The main purpose of performance testing is to identify and eliminate the performance bottlenecks in the software application.In this course, you will learn about:
JMeter-The Apache JMeter is an open-source, purely Java-based software. The software is used to perform performance testing, functional testing, and load testing of web applications. It is used to test load testing functional behavior and measuring performance.
Why JMeter for Performance Testing
Performance Testing is an integral part of any software or web application today. It is of utmost importance to know if the application will bear the load or crash in different scenarios and on different platforms.
Performance testing mainly focuses on three factors of a Software Program
- Speed - If the response of the application is fast or not
- Scalability - The maximum user load is determined
- Stability - The application is checked under varying load.
