Course Overview
Performance is critical to the success of modern applications, especially in distributed and cloud-native environments. This course provides a practical introduction to performance testing concepts and tools, focusing on Apache JMeter and k6. Learners will understand how to measure, simulate, and analyse system behaviour under different load conditions.
Through mentor-led sessions and practical scenarios, participants will design and execute performance tests including load, stress, spike, and soak testing. The course covers defining performance thresholds, analysing metrics, and identifying bottlenecks across application layers.
By the end of the programme, learners will be able to build performance testing strategies, interpret results, and recommend improvements. This prepares participants for roles in performance engineering, quality assurance, and site reliability.
