JMeter Web Testing

The JMeter Web Testing course covers the creation and implementation of functional and unit testing with Apache JMeter, the free application testing software from The Apache Software Foundation. The purpose of the course is to allow organisations to completely automate their various testing requirements, saving time, money and helping to minimise the risk of human error in testing. The programme explores the concepts of designing and creating test plans for real-world web applications using Apache JMeter, including functional, regression and stress testing plans. It also focuses on full automation, scripting, integrating tests with external data source.
