Jmeter with API Course Overview

The JMeter with API course is designed to equip learners with the skills necessary for conducting performance tests on web applications using Apache JMeter, an open-source load testing tool. It focuses on teaching how to simulate a heavy load on servers, networks, or objects to test their strength or analyze overall performance under different load types.

Day-1 of the course introduces the concepts of performance testing, its various types, and the performance testing workflow. Learners will gain a thorough understanding of JMeter, including its configuration, features, and how it works. They will learn to create test plans, thread groups, samplers, listeners, and work with assertions and user-defined variables, which are crucial for realistic testing scenarios.

Day-2 dives deeper, with lessons on controllers, handling dynamic server values, regular expressions, configuration elements, timers, pre and post-processors, plugins for report generation, and correlation techniques.

Day-3 focuses on advanced topics such as remote/distributed tests and introduces performance monitoring tools like Dynatrace, AppDynamics, and perfmon, which are vital for analyzing test results.

Finally, Day-4 covers API fundamentals, differences between APIs and web services, types of web services, and how to perform API/webservice testing using JMeter.

This course will help learners master JMeter for API testing, enhancing their skills in performance testing, a critical aspect of software quality assurance.
