Fundamentals of Performance Testing

01 · FUNDAMENTALS

Introduction to Performance Testing

Core concepts — What performance testing is, why it matters, focus areas, real-world examples, and the importance of testing before go-live.
View Guide →
02 · FUNDAMENTALS

Types of Performance Testing

Load, Stress, Soak, Spike, and Break-Point testing, specific load conditions and purpose of each type.
View Guide →
03 · FUNDAMENTALS

Performance Testing Terminologies

Virtual Users, Response Time, Throughput, Requests, Transactions, Iterations, Think Time, and Pacing — all connected.
View Guide →
04 · FUNDAMENTALS

Performance Testing SLAs

Service Level Agreements — defining pass/fail criteria, response time thresholds, error rates, throughput targets, and measurement intervals.

Strategy & Lifecycle

05 · STRATEGY

Performance Testing Life Cycle (PTLC)

7 phases from Risk Assessment to Reporting — the end-to-end systematic process for performance testing.

06 · STRATEGY

Workload Modelling & Little's Law

Users = Iterations/sec × Pacing — mathematical approaches to sizing virtual users, open vs closed models, and JMeter mapping.

Mastering Apache JMeter

08 · JMETER

JMeter Installation

Step-by-step installation on macOS (Homebrew & manual) and Windows — Java setup, environment variables, and verification.

09 · JMETER

JMeter Scripting Steps

6-step scripting process — setup, test plan, samplers, enhancement (correlation, parameterization, assertions), debugging, and execution.
View Guide →
10 · JMETER

Recording Scripts

7 methods — built-in recorder, BlazeMeter extension, HAR conversion, Fiddler/Charles, manual scripting, Swagger import, and Selenium integration.

11 · JMETER

Test Elements Execution Order

The 9-element execution sequence — Test Plan → Config → Thread Group → Pre → Timer → Sampler → Post → Assertion → Listener.

Execution & Results Analysis

12 · EXECUTION

Non-GUI Mode Commands

The essential CLI command for load testing — breakdown of every parameter: -n, -t, -l, -e, -o with full working examples.
View Guide →
13 · EXECUTION

Performance Testing Monitoring

Three monitoring pillars — client-side metrics (RT, throughput, errors), server-side (CPU, memory, disk), and APM (DB queries, GC, cache).
View Guide →
14 · EXECUTION

HTML Report Analysis

Interpreting JMeter's dashboard — APDEX scores, statistics table, percentiles, over-time charts, throughput analysis, and saturation detection.
