The Test Tribe 7th Virtual Meetup

Hello, Testers

We are absolutely delighted to bring The Test Tribe 7th Virtual Meetup to you all!

Date: February 12th, 2022, Saturday

Time: 11:00 AM To 1:00 PM IST

Duration: 2 hours (including a 10 min break in between)

Session Title: “JMeter, Please assist me in Testing for THAT load”

Abstract: In my limited but learning hands-on experience, I have load-tested web applications using Apache JMeter TM. Unfortunately, I sometimes fell into the trap of using this popular and helpful tool without building sufficient awareness about the architecture, load testing, users, and stakeholders' expectations. As you can probably imagine, resultant load testing efforts eventually sucked energy, consumed more time, delayed testing cycles, and caused late information to the stakeholders.

This 7,200,000 milliseconds-long hands-on virtual meetup would try to answer some questions I should have asked when I started my journey into load testing.

• Why is load testing a web application necessary?
• Who are the people who matter and care?
• What does it mean by realistic load tests design?
• Where are some traps, and can we avoid those?
• When should the load testing life cycle begin?
• How to use Apache JMeter TM capabilities sensibly and reach our testing goals?

Audience: Web application testers who are

• Desiring to kick off a journey to become a web app load tester.
• Upskilling themselves in the load testing of web apps using JMeter TM.

Two ideas drive this meetup…

"Tools don't test. Only people test. Tools perform actions that help people test" — James Bach, on a context-driven approach to the entire testing work culture.

Also, "A good workman should be known by his reasonable selection and application of the tools." - Anonymous.

Key Takeaways:

1. How to reasonably understand and explain realistic load testing
2. How to start using Apache JMeter TM capabilities sensibly
3. How to interpret and communicate the information to the risk managers
