Training
Learn WPLoadTester from the engineers who build it.
A live, hands-on class that takes you from recording your first test to finding real bottlenecks. Taught online by senior performance engineers in 6 to 8 hours, usually split across two days.
How the class works
The class is taught live over teleconference, so your team gets customized, hands-on instruction from the people who designed the tool. It runs 6 to 8 hours, usually split across two days, and costs $1,400 per person. By the end, students can design and run their own tests immediately.
What you'll learn
The curriculum follows the WPLoadTester way of load testing, from the interface to interpreting a finished report.
Introduction
- A tour of every view: Navigator, Testcase Editor, Content, Fields, Headers, Actors, Errors, Engines, and Servers
- Record, configure, and run a simple load test end to end
Test case design
- The theory of good test design
- Recording with Chrome and other browsers, including SSL
- Think-time and performance goals
- Datasets, data replacement, and the Fields View
- Redirecting a test case to a different hostname
- Validators, plus string-delimited and regular-expression extractors
Running tests
- Combining multiple test cases into a complete load test
- Designing a test plan
- Examining data while a test is in progress
- Configuring duration, virtual-user count, and ramp-up
- Setting up physical and cloud load engines, and server agents
Analyzing results
- The load-test report and its major sections
- How to interpret the results
- The most common bottlenecks on a site
Live testing
- Time permitting, the class ends by running a real load test against your site and using what you learned to find bottlenecks
