JMeter Fundamentals: Performance and API Testing Made Easy

This program is designed to help learners master the fundamentals of performance and API testing with JMeter through a practical approach. It begins with an introduction to the tool and a step-by-step guide on how to install JMeter on both Windows and Mac systems. Participants will quickly become familiar with the core elements of JMeter and create their first test to understand the basics of load and performance testing. Then, the course explores essential components such as assertions, listeners, timers, and logic controllers, enabling learners to build more flexible and reliable test scenarios. Advanced topics include designing database test plans for load testing, running JMeter from the command line in non-GUI mode, and analyzing results effectively. Learners will also practice testing FTP upload and download processes using request samplers. To enhance testing capabilities, the program covers preprocessors, postprocessors, correlation, and using the JMeter Plugins Manager. A separate section introduces API and web service testing, parameterization for dynamic test data, and the application of functions and variables. Finally, learners will explore how to leverage templates to streamline test creation. By the end of the course, participants will develop the confidence to design, execute, and analyze performance and API tests, preparing them well to apply JMeter in real-world testing environments.
