Performance Testing is an important part of the software lifecycle and unlike other testing efforts it must be executed with software testing tools. This course explains how to define performance tests, how to execute them, and how to analyze them. The course is tool-agnostic and therefore concepts learned here can be applied to a variety of commercial and open source performance test tools.
