Performance problems related to Web and Client/Server applications are known to all organization. Many companies have developed or integrated their critical applications using Web Technologies. As these applications become more complex, testing of such applications is critical, particularly from the standpoint of performance. Automation of testing is further complicated due to its inherent complex process. Since automation is the only solution for better quality and regression testing, there is a need for learning performance test automation. This tutorial provides an in-depth study of how to plan and conduct performance testing in an automated environment using Tools.
