About this course
This course develops practical capability in Performance Testing with JMeter. Its course-specific content covers Workload design, JMeter plan, Execution and analysis, Test report, followed by an applied project focused on build a repeatable workload test for a service. The lessons include concrete configuration, design, testing or operational decisions appropriate to the subject.
Who this is for
Administrators, developers and practitioners who work with Performance Testing with JMeter or plan to take on responsibilities in this area.
Before you start
Working knowledge of software testing & qa and practical familiarity with the named platform or subject. Review the course topics before enrolment to confirm the lab starting point.
Build a repeatable workload test for a service
Deliver build a repeatable workload test for a service. Use the module outcomes to state requirements, demonstrate a working result, test an expected failure or boundary case, and document assumptions and follow-up work.
Course content
Course-specific syllabus and practical exercises. Lab release, access arrangements and final delivery scope are confirmed before enrolment.
01Workload design

Practical exerciseApply workload design to the build a repeatable workload test for a service and capture the validation evidence.
02JMeter plan
+
- Thread groups, samplers and controllers
- Parameters, correlation and assertions
Practical exerciseApply jmeter plan to the build a repeatable workload test for a service and capture the validation evidence.
03Execution and analysis
+
- Ramp-up, steady-state and shutdown
- Throughput, latency and error interpretation
Practical exerciseApply execution and analysis to the build a repeatable workload test for a service and capture the validation evidence.
04Test report
+
- Run a bounded test against an approved lab target
- Separate server evidence from generator limits
