Performance / Load Testing with Jmeter Course Overview

To successfully undertake the Performance / Load Testing with JMeter course offered by Koenig Solutions, students should ideally meet the following minimum prerequisites:

• Basic understanding of software development life cycle (SDLC) and software testing concepts.
• Familiarity with web applications and how they function (HTTP protocol, client-server architecture).
• Knowledge of basic programming or scripting concepts is beneficial but not mandatory.
• Experience with using a web browser for Internet navigation.
• Basic familiarity with command-line operations (especially if using JMeter on a platform that requires it, such as Linux or macOS).
• Understanding of HTML and web technologies like client-side scripting (JavaScript) may be helpful for recording and scripting in JMeter.
• Prior experience in any testing tool is advantageous but not a requirement.
• Willingness to learn and experiment with new tools and techniques in performance testing.

These prerequisites are designed to ensure that students have a foundational understanding that will allow them to grasp the concepts and hands-on exercises presented in the JMeter course effectively. No advanced technical skills are required, and the course aims to be accessible to those with a basic IT background.
