Crash-course: Performance testing

Crash Course Performance testing is a two-day intensive dedicated to the theory and practice of performance testing of software products.

On Saturday, September 30, we will look at what types of tests there are, what are the most popular purposes of testing, and how to properly prepare for the process so that the results are valuable and relevant.

On Sunday, October 1, we will move on to practice testing. Let's take a prototype of a multi-component product with a database and a message broker, and on its basis we will understand how to answer business questions: "make it work well", "and how many clients will be able to work". You will also be able to calculate when your product will no longer satisfy the needs of your customers and it is time to rethink it.

Coach — Olexandr Gilevy, Software Engineer Technical Lead at Creatio. 11+ years in IT.
