System Performance Testing - Overview and Case Study

Description

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.

In Part B of the course I will cover some of the key points/takeaways from a real world performance testing example. I will cover the following:
