Gatling has been around since 2012, and has since grown into a hugely popular open-source tool for stress testing any web application or API. Until recently, Gatling had only been available in Scala, which has hindered many users in adopting the tool.In 2022, Gatling finally released a Java version of the tool, eliminating the need to use Scala and opening the doors for wide spread adoption.In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of using the Java version of the Gatling stress testing tool. We will write many Gatling scripts from scratch against a target application created specifically for this course.Why Gatling?:Extremely powerful and flexible performance and stress testing solutionAn open-source tool, so no cost to use itPerformance testers with Gatling experience are in high demand - yet few Engineers know how to use this toolWhy this course?:Learn all aspects of the Java version of Gatling including:Installation & Configuration, both standalone and in an IDE using the Maven build toolUsing the Recorder to record your user journey, both with Swagger and PostmanWriting many Gatling load test scripts from scratch, learning all fundamental conceptsAnalysing test results reportsSee how to write many scripts from scratch to become familiar with the process, each script teaches a new conceptRun tests from the command line, including by using the Maven build tool.Although Gatling scripts are pure Java code, you will see why the excellent Gatling DSL means no real knowledge of Java is required to succeed with GatlingResources for learning Gatling are scarce. It can be overwhelming and in
