ISTQB® Performance Testing

A solid introduction to the potential and limitations as well as to the creation and evaluation of performance tests. ISTQB^® compliant and compact - not only for beginners the perfect preparation for the new certification exam!

Whether you are involved in the creation, execution or maintenance of performance tests, or you have specialized in performance testing and would like to become certified in this area: In summary, this course will provide you with a solid foundation for your work.

Participants will learn what performance testing is needed for in our increasingly networked world, what it can tell them about the tested system, and how they can and should communicate this information in their specific project environment. You will discuss what measures should be taken across different architectures and at what point in the lifecycle. You will look at possible uses of performance tests at different test levels and explore the question of what tools are required to ensure the success of the tests.

Through presentations, discussions, and hands-on exercises, participants will learn to:

•     Understand basic concepts of performance and achievement testing
•     Stakeholder needs and expectations: Identify and define risks, objectives, and requirements
•     Understand and create performance metrics
•     Develop test plans for performance testing
•     Design, implement, and execute a simple performance test
