Performance Testing Foundations 

You have probably encountered a system that slows down or crashes in production and maybe you are expected to provide answers or suggest solutions. Performance testing is not just about running a few scripts, but also about predicting where and why things might go wrong. However, technical knowledge is not enough for this: you need to understand the business expectations, the behavior of the system, and how to communicate the results.

Familiar situations:

• The system can handle the load “in theory” but not in production?
• Response times were fine in the test environment, but slowdowns and timeouts occur in the production environment?
• Part of the team does not understand why performance testing is important?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, this performance testing training is for you!

It helps you not only test, but also truly understand and be able to represent the performance of the system even in the most critical moments.

This training is designed for IT professionals who already have basic testing knowledge and want to more consciously apply performance testing in their development, testing or operations processes.

It is primarily intended for testers and test automation, but it can also be useful for developers, operators and DevOps professionals who want to better understand the relationships related to system performance and learn the basics of performance testing.

You should join if, for example:

• you would like to better understand the methodology and tools of performance testing,
• it is important for you that the test results represent real business value,
• you often encounter that the system behaves differently in production than in a test environment,
• you would like to collaborate more effectively with developers and operators to prevent performance problems.

We provide an interactive, supportive community during the training, where your development is the focus. Our instructors are not only experts in their fields but are also committed to creating a friendly and inspiring atmosphere.

Mutual respect is important to us – looking down on or criticizing others is not acceptable. Everyone is here to learn and develop.

Ádám Tóth has been dealing with the challenges of performance testing and system optimization for more than 10 years.

Ádám is also active as a trainer and speaker, and has been supporting the professional community for many years, sharing his experiences and practical knowledge. His commitment to performance engineering, systems thinking, and results-oriented approach make him one of the most trusted experts in the field.

The learning doesn’t end after you complete the course! You will have the opportunity to become a member of a professional community where you can:

• stay connected with other participants and instructors,
• share your experiences and ideas,

This community can be the foundation of a long-term professional network that will help you further build your career.

The performance testing training is conducted online, so you will need the following tools and conditions:

• Reliable internet connection: Stable and adequate bandwidth for interactive participation.
• Computer or laptop: To follow the training materials and complete the tasks.
• Basic computer skills: Basic computer skills required to manage the online platform and manage documents.
• The list of software required for performance testing and its installation instructions are provided in the information guide sent to participants before the course starts. The tools are exclusively free, open source or included in the training fee, so there are no additional costs.

The training is conducted in English and the presentation materials are available in English.
