Essential Performance Testing with Gatling and sbt

Performance issues can severely impact user experience and business revenue. Learn the systematic, engineering-driven approach to identifying and preventing bottlenecks before they reach production. This course transforms beginners into proficient performance testers capable of setting up robust load testing environments. You will master the fundamentals of performance engineering, using Gatling and sbt to simulate realistic user traffic and interpret complex results. What you'll learn: * Understand the core concepts of performance engineering, load modeling, and key metrics (latency, throughput, error rate). * Configure and manage performance testing projects using the Scala Build Tool (sbt). * Master the Gatling Domain Specific Language (DSL) to write scalable, maintainable load simulation scripts. * Apply techniques for simulating complex user behavior and handling dynamic data during test scenarios. * Analyze detailed Gatling reports to diagnose performance bottlenecks and communicate findings effectively. * Integrate performance tests into continuous integration (CI) pipelines for automated quality assurance. The course begins with foundational concepts of load testing, moves through setting up your environment with sbt, and focuses heavily on practical application using the Gatling DSL. It concludes with methods for analyzing results and integrating tests into modern continuous delivery workflows. This course is designed for beginners in quality assurance, developers, or anyone looking to start a career in performance engineering. No prior experience with Gatling or performance testing is required. Start building your expertise in high-performance application delivery today.
