Course details

Make the most of Apache JMeter, the open-source, industry-standard tool for performance testing. This course covers advanced JMeter tips and techniques, designed to help software testers and engineers get even more value from JMeter. Michael Smith, a technology researcher with over 10 years of experience in software testing, shows how to record test scripts to capture actions and replay them through a browser. He also shows how to log in to web applications for testing, generate new login requests from a data source such as a CSV files, and load test APIs . Plus, learn how to perform distributed load testing using a master-server configuration in JMeter. With these tips, you can take your JMeter skills to the next level.

Topics include:
Recording a test script
Logging in to a web app
Data-driven testing with CSV files
Viewing results in the JMeter browser
Sending requests via REST APIs
Distributed testing
