Certified Performance Tester with JMeter

Performance testing is a specific type of testing that determines a system’s responsiveness to a particular workload in a particular context. It also allows to verify and validate software quality attributes such as scalability, reliability, availability, and resource usage, among other non-functional aspects.

PtU CPTJM is a practical course for testers who are already involved in performance testing, or for those who wish to start in that area. The course is focused on the use of the JMeter tool to carry out performance testing on web applications, thus bringing the use of the tool closer to real implementations through concepts such as recording the tests, building scripts that make it possible to simulate the real use of the system, executing the tests, and monitoring the application during the tests, among other concepts. PtU CPTJM provides a solid technical base suitable for software testers, test engineers, performance analysts, test leaders, quality managers and operation support.
