Performance testing cannot be effectively conducted without collecting and visualizing performance metrics from the system under test.
In this practically oriented course the attendees will deal with designing basic performance test, selection of proper performance metrics for system and underlying infrastructure and usage of tools for metrics storage, monitoring and visualization.
The attendees will get best practices in monitoring stack deployment, integration and usage.
