Introduction to Performance Testing
One day
Performance testing isn't just about running a simple load test. It can be an extremely complex process involving many variables and copious amounts of data. If the planning is correctly undertaken, a great deal more value and assurance can be gained from the test team with minimal extra effort required. The key to success is not the tools but an understanding of what benefits performance testing can provide and the approach adopted.
Objectives:
- gain an understanding of what is meant by performance testing
- know what objectives can be met through performance testing
- be able to to undertake a risk assessment
