Learn automated performance testing using Gatling, Puppeteer, and Lighthouse tools.

Test Automation

Almost every company in the world needs to test the scalability and performance of its products or applications.
 
In this module, we’ll learn the fundamentals of Gatling—an open-source performance testing tool that is in great demand in the software industry. We’ll start by learning the basics of performance testing including scalability testing and stress testing.
 
We’ll then move to more advanced concepts such as writing Gatling scripts, understanding web page performance, and simulating network throttling using Puppeteer and Lighthouse tools.
 
Lastly, we’ll learn to set up Continuous Integration (CI) using Jenkins for Gatling, which is useful for running tests remotely. By the end of this module, we’ll have some new great skills for our resume.

### Basics of network throttling

There are times when we have to test the website's performance under different network bandwidth and speed. For that, we intentionally slow or increase the network bandwidth to simulate and examine the software response and behavior under varying speeds.


### Why is it needed?

Internet and network technologies have improved a lot in the last 10 years. Many companies are taking the mobile-first approach since most of their traffic comes from mobile users, especially in the case of e-commerce companies.


Having said that, it is very important to monitor and optimize a website's experience under various network conditions to identify the performance issues that may degrade a user's experience across a wider variety of network connections.
