Advanced Gatling for Stress Testing Web Applications - 2022
Use Gatling to create an advanced stress, load and performance test framework with a real project and add Jenkins for CI
Description
Level up your Gatling knowledge, by building an entire stress testing framework from scratch against a live e-commerce application!
In this course, you'll assume the role of a performance testing consultant, who has been hired to implement a bespoke, robust and flexible continuous stress testing framework against a real web application.
This project will take you through implementing the framework across a seven day project, using all the advanced features of Gatling as the stress testing solution. We'll also be hooking up our Gatling code with Jenkins for continuous integration.
What will you learn from this course?:
Full installation & setup of a new Gatling project from scratch - using the latest JAVA version of Gatling
Using the Gatling recorder to create a Gatling script against a live e-commerce website
Refactoring our Gatling code into an actual stress testing framework
All of the advanced features of Gatling such as programmatic logic, session parameters and feeders
Designing and implementing multiple user journeys and test scenarios through our application
Installation and configuration of Gatling through Jenkins for continuous integration
This course follows on from the hugely successful Gatling Fundamentals courses right here on Udemy. Although it is advisable to complete one of the Gatling Fundamentals courses first (either the Scala or Java versions), do note that this it is not required as this course is standalone.
No prior knowledge of performance testing or software development is required, as I will be walking you through the entire process. However, any prior knowledge or experience that you do have in these domains will be of benefit and will naturally aid learning.
This course is for any Developer or Quality Engineer that wants to learn how to use the Java version of Gatling for testing their website, e-commerce store or other web application.
If you want to take your knowledge of Gatling and stress testing to next level whilst building an entire stress testing framework from scratch, this is the course for you.
