Course Overview
Ensure your systems perform reliably, scale effectively, and meet user expectations.
Welcome to Performance Testing, where you'll gain the essential skills to systematically evaluate and optimize IT system performance.
In Lesson 1, you'll uncover the fundamental principles of performance testing and explore its critical role in delivering reliable, scalable IT solutions that consistently meet user expectations.
Lesson 2 introduces you to the three pillars of performance evaluation:
  • Load Testing — simulates expected user traffic
  • Stress Testing — pushes systems to their limits
  • Endurance Testing — assesses long-term system stability
Lesson 3 familiarizes you with industry-standard performance testing tools, providing hands-on experience with proven solutions for measuring and analyzing application performance across diverse scenarios.
By the end of this course, you'll be equipped to design robust performance testing strategies, conduct thorough system evaluations, and translate test results into actionable optimization recommendations—essential skills for QA professionals working on projects of any scale, from startup applications to enterprise systems.
