JMeter Essentials Training and Certification in Astana, Kazakhstan

JMeter training equips participants with the knowledge to use Apache JMeter for performance and load testing of web applications and services. The course covers key topics like test plan creation, thread groups, samplers, listeners, and assertions to monitor and analyze application performance. Participants learn how to simulate user behavior, configure test scenarios for various loads, and identify bottlenecks in the application. Hands-on exercises focus on integrating JMeter with CI/CD pipelines and generating detailed reports for performance analysis. By the end of the training, attendees gain practical skills to design and execute effective performance tests using JMeter.
