Performance Testing with Gatling: Framework Setup and Customization

Modern web applications require rigorous load testing to handle real-world traffic, but setting up a testing environment from scratch can be challenging. This course guides you through establishing and understanding a custom Gatling framework, helping you transition from basic testing concepts to writing structured, customizable performance test scripts. You will learn to: - Understand foundational performance testing concepts and Gatling architecture. - Configure and structure a custom Gatling testing framework on your local system. - Write and customize simulation scripts using modern DSL patterns. - Apply load testing strategies, including ramp-up profiles and concurrent user simulations. - Integrate performance tests into automation workflows for continuous feedback. - Analyze execution metrics to identify and resolve application bottlenecks. You will begin with essential performance testing terminology and basic configuration steps, then progress through exploring the framework structure and customizing your own test simulations. This course is designed for software developers, QA engineers, and test automation beginners who want to learn Gatling without any prior framework setup experience.
