Comprehensive IBM Rational Performance Tester

Comprehensive IBM Rational Performance Tester
Course Code : CTRPT320 Source : CresTech Course Length : 2 days


This introductory course is designed to familiarize testing professionals with the basics of the IBM Rational performance testing tool. Testers can build, enhance, and run scripts in a full-function Java Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that integrates with IBM Rational Software Development Platform products. In addition to class lecture, you will be asked to complete labs to reinforce critical concepts and tool functionality. The focus is on the practical application of Performance Tester to resolve common performance testing challenges. This course focuses on getting started with Performance Tester.

Then the advanced course is designed to enhance a student's knowledge of the performance testing lifecycle using IBM Rational Performance Tester. Web-based applications are the focus of the class, during which students are provided insight into the architecture of web-based applications, implications upon test planning, automation, execution, and analysis. The course includes lecture and classroom discussion, with an emphasis on student exercises and labs applicable to real-world web applications and challenges. Extensive data correlation and parameterization techniques are addressed in the context of standard web clients, rich web clients, and desktop web clients. The course will require extensive Java programming in order to address the needs of business process automation and its requirements to properly model an application's end-user experience.
