Course Objective is to understand and learn Basic Elements in JMeter: A Performance Testing.

Outcome of This course is every student must be able to do basic testing steps by using JMETER : A PERFORMACE TESTING

JMeter : JMeter is a software that can perform load test, performance oriented business (functional) test, regression test, etc., on different protocols or technologies. Stefano Mazzocchi of the Apache Software Foundation was the original developer of JMeter.

Classifications: Load testing
