Program Overview: What is Performance and Load Testing (JMeter, k6)?
Performance & Load Testing (JMeter, k6) is a 24-hour program for QA engineers, testers, and SREs who run or support application testing. It covers performance testing fundamentals, JMeter setup and test plans, and load and stress testing with JMeter. Participants learn scripting and cloud runs with k6, plus results analysis and bottleneck reporting.
Each module centers on labs where participants run real load against sample applications. Teams configure JMeter, execute load and stress tests, then script k6 scenarios and run them in the cloud. Instructor coaching focuses on reading results correctly and writing bottleneck reports that developers can act on. The capstone runs a full performance test cycle from plan to report.
Slow applications lose customers and revenue, yet many teams ship without ever testing under load. This program teaches testers to plan tests, run them at scale, and translate results into fixes. Performance testing becomes part of the release routine instead of an afterthought.
Completing a full test cycle is what makes a performance tester: each participant delivers a finished cycle with test plans, executed runs, analysis, and a bottleneck report reviewed by the instructor. That cycle document becomes the reference they follow every time a release needs load validation.
Across six modules, the program moves from performance testing fundamentals and JMeter setup to load and stress scripting, k6 automation, results analysis, and a capstone test cycle. Guided labs run against realistic sample applications so cohorts practice the test cycles they will run on real systems. The capstone executes a full performance test cycle, from plan to bottleneck report, with instructor review.

Cohorts train as a cross-functional quality team, with each small group aligned on shared test planning and reporting standards.
Prerequisites: This program suits QA engineers, testers, and SREs who run or support application testing. No prior JMeter or k6 experience is required; the instructor meets each cohort at its level and builds from familiar functional testing concepts. Teams bringing their own test targets get the most from the capstone, but demo applications are provided for every lab.

Where this Training Fits in Your Team's learning path.
Load testing at scale sits second in this path, after performance testing concepts. This course covers JMeter and k6 scripting and analysis. Continuous testing then runs those scripts in every pipeline, and the path ends with site reliability engineering, which keeps performance healthy after release.
