Performance Engineer for Tricentis NeoLoad

Welcome to your journey to become a Performance Engineer for Tricentis NeoLoad.

This path takes two days, or 15.5 hours to complete and consists of the 8 courses below. 

Performance Engineers in NeoLoad have extensive expertise in performance engineering practices, focusing on improving the overall performance of various Software Systems throughout the entire development lifecycle. In addition to the skills acquired by professional Performance Testers, Performance Engineers are equipped with a set of deeper skills, possessing knowledge of parameterization, system analysis capabilities involving an understanding of how applications consume system resources, along with collaboration skills to work effectively with diverse team members from development, business analysis, and IT Operations. Responsibilities span beyond testing and encompass capacity planning, performance analysis, continuous monitoring, and overall performance optimization.

Performance Engineers ensure continuous optimization of the stability, scalability, and performance of Software Applications.  Their responsibilities include:

Analysis & Monitoring

• Conduct deep analysis of System under Test environments to understand not only the presence of a potential bottleneck, but likely causes of the bottleneck.
• Effectively communicate findings using supporting data from multiple different systems, such as monitoring software, source code management repositories, and continuous integration platforms.

Improve

• Define performance improvement strategies, and aid in the implementation of performance engineering as a practice throughout all stages of the application delivery process.

Collaboration

• Collaborate with project stakeholders to implement performance engineering practices while documenting the value of the effort over time. 

• Design and validate performance tests in NeoLoad.  
• Identify performance bottlenecks and suggest performance improvements by analyzing performance test results and generating reports.
• List and elaborate on the various predefined user interactions (logical actions) that can be used with NeoLoad for faster and more effective script design, including RealBrowser.
• Design and execute realistic and accurate load tests by modeling expected production usage of the application in a performance scenario.
• Explore how NeoLoad’s out-of-the-box-integrations contribute to faster time-to-market and improved software quality.
• Demonstrate how to navigate the NeoLoad Web interface.
• Manage SOAP calls during performance testing, starting with creating and editing the requests.
• Explore the steps to record the interaction between an existing SOAP client and the web services client.
• Describe the editing of parameters extracted from the WSDL as the XML content.
• Demonstrate how to seamlessly integrate NeoLoad Web with Jenkins.
• Demonstrate how to seamlessly integrate NeoLoad with Tosca.
• Explain how to convert a Tricentis Tosca Web test case to a NeoLoad User Path.
