Course brief

A rigorous performance-testing curriculum from basic test plans to distributed load generation, telemetry, bottleneck analysis, and production-grade performance engineering.

This course is organized as a progressive operational curriculum. Lesson files are reserved in the repository structure so future content can be added without changing URLs or navigation.

By the end

You will be able to

Design realistic load, stress, spike, soak, and capacity tests
Build maintainable JMeter plans with correlation and parameterization
Run large tests safely in CLI and distributed modes
Export telemetry and interpret latency, throughput, saturation, and error behavior
Automate performance gates in CI/CD and operate scalable load infrastructure

Complete syllabus

35 chapters in prerequisite order.

The structure moves from fundamentals through architecture, automation, security, reliability, troubleshooting, scaling, and production operations.
