Load Testing Training Course – Simulate Real User Behaviour to Assess the Limits of Your Applications
- Price
- Duration
- Number of Hours
Each session will take place even if only one person is registered (except in cases of force majeure)
Description
Few applications fail because of bugs. Many fail to handle increased load.
Load testing allows you to simulate hundreds or even thousands of users in parallel to observe how your systems behave under stress, anticipate failures, and validate actual scalability.
This training course introduces you to the methodologies, tools, and best practices for performing effective load testing, interpreting the results, and proposing concrete optimisation actions.
Format
Remote (recorded sessions).
GOOD TO KNOW
This training course includes numerous exercises (60% practical) to enhance learning. Each session will take place even if only one person is registered (except in cases of force majeure). A preliminary interview is held between the participant and/or a company representative in order to fully assess the participant’s profile (level, needs, professional context, challenges, etc.).
Assessment : during the training course, the trainer assesses the participants’ progress through multiple-choice questions, role-playing exercises and practical work. Participants receive a certificate of completion at the end of the training course.
objectives of this Load Testing Training Course
By the end, each participant will be able to :
- Understand the differences between load testing, stress testing, endurance testing, and scalability testing.
- Know how to choose the right testing tools for your needs (JMeter, K6, Gatling, Artillery, etc.).
- Build realistic scenarios that represent user usage.
- Run tests at different intensities and durations.
- Analyse the results (latency, errors, saturation, throughput, etc.).
- Formulate technical recommendations for optimisation.
- Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
Prequisites of this Load Testing Training Course
- Basic knowledge of HTTP, APIs or web development
- Proficiency in using files, environment variables and command lines
- Previous experience in functional testing is a plus
- Because each participant has a unique background and expectations, a preliminary interview with our expert allows us to precisely identify their objectives, level and professional challenges.
This enables us to tailor the training content to ensure relevant and personalised learning.
Target Audience
Suitable for QA profiles, developers, DevOps, technical project managers, or any team responsible for user experience under constraints.
Detailed of this Load Testing Training Course
Fundamentals of load testing
Types of tests : load, stress, endurance, scalability. Why and when to use them.
Definition of a representative user scenario
Target throughput, frequency of actions, behaviour during peak loads. Set realistic objectives.
Market tools – overview and selection
Comparison of JMeter, K6, Gatling, and Artillery. Choose according to your needs (web, API, CLI, CI/CD).
Test design and execution
Basic script, user simulation, ramp-up, random variations, assertions.
Recommendations and optimisations
Interpretation of metrics (latency, error rate, 95th percentile, memory/CPU saturation, server logs).
Analysis of results and optimisation
Concrete strategies : caching, CDN, session management, database, parallelisation.
Continuous integration and supervision
Run tests via CI (GitLab, Jenkins), automatic alerting, integration into the quality loop.
The advantages of this training course
This training course :
- Is tool-agnostic : you learn how to test, not how to depend on a tool.
- Goes beyond simulation: it trains you in analysis and optimisation strategy.
- Is part of a DevOps/continuous quality approach.
- Offers concrete examples taken from real-life situations.
FORMA-IT's training courses are also supportive
At Forma-IT, we believe that training can also be a lever for solidarity. This is why part of each registration is donated to associations that work in areas that are close to our hearts :
- The SPA, for animal protection
- The Restos du Cœur, for the fight against precariousness
- Ludopital, to make the daily lives of hospitalized children easier
- APF France Handicap, for the rights of people with disabilities and their families
By choosing Forma-IT, you invest in your skills while contributing to essential causes.
