Performance Testing with Gatling Scenarios

In today's fast-paced digital world, ensuring your web applications can handle high traffic is critical to business success. This text-based course guides you through the foundational concepts of performance testing using Gatling, helping you write robust simulation scripts from scratch. You will start with key performance testing terminology, core architecture, and the basic structure of a Gatling simulation. By the end of this course, you will be able to model realistic user behavior, configure request pipelines, and analyze performance bottlenecks. You will gain hands-on practice writing clean, maintainable test scripts that simulate real-world conditions. What you'll learn: - Understand core performance testing concepts and Gatling architecture - Create structured user scenarios to simulate realistic multi-step user paths - Configure HTTP requests and manage dynamic session data with feeders - Implement modern protocol testing including WebSockets for real-time applications - Apply assertion frameworks to validate response times and error rates - Practice structuring test suites using modern code organization principles We begin with essential theory and setup, then progress step-by-step through writing scenarios, handling dynamic data, and configuring load profiles. This course is designed for QA engineers, developers, and system administrators who are new to performance testing. No prior load-testing experience is required, though basic familiarity with web technologies is helpful. Start building reliable, high-performance applications today.
