Simulating Integration Load Tests with Gatling

Building robust and scalable applications requires understanding how they perform under pressure. Discover how to simulate realistic user loads and validate your system's integration points. Upon completion, you will be able to confidently design, implement, and analyze integration load tests using Gatling, ensuring your API-driven systems meet performance expectations. What you'll learn: * Understand the fundamental principles of integration load testing and key performance indicators. * Set up the Gatling testing framework and write basic simulation scripts using its Scala DSL. * Design complex user journeys and API request sequences, incorporating data parametrization and dynamic assertions. * Execute load tests, analyze comprehensive performance reports, and pinpoint integration bottlenecks. * Manage test data and implement authentication strategies for realistic simulation of user interactions. * Integrate Gatling simulations into a basic Continuous Integration pipeline for automated performance validation. This course begins with foundational load testing concepts and gradually introduces Gatling's capabilities, moving from basic script creation to advanced scenario design and result analysis. This course is designed for beginner developers, QA engineers, and anyone looking to learn performance testing for API integrations with no prior experience required.
