Performance Testing with JMeter and AWS

In today's digital landscape, slow web applications lose users and revenue instantly. Understanding how to simulate high traffic and identify bottlenecks is crucial for ensuring your software remains stable under pressure. This text-based course guides you from performance testing fundamentals to configuring distributed load tests in the cloud. You will learn how to design realistic test plans, execute them using JMeter, and scale your testing infrastructure using AWS. What you'll learn: - Understand core performance testing concepts, including latency, throughput, and resource utilization. - Configure JMeter test plans to simulate realistic user behavior and API requests. - Deploy and manage distributed load generators on AWS instances to scale your tests. - Analyze test results and system metrics to identify performance bottlenecks and server lags. - Integrate performance verification concepts into modern CI/CD deployment pipelines. - Apply modern cloud observability principles to monitor server health during high-load scenarios. The course begins with foundational definitions of performance metrics before moving into step-by-step JMeter test plan creation. You will then progress to setting up cloud-based distributed testing environments on AWS to simulate thousands of concurrent users. This course is designed for beginner QA engineers, developers, and system administrators looking to enter the world of performance engineering, with no prior load testing experience required.
