Description
Gatling has been around since 2012, and has since grown into a hugely popular open-source tool for stress testing any web application or API. Until recently, Gatling had only been available in Scala, which has hindered many users in adopting the tool.
In 2022, Gatling finally released a Java version of the tool, eliminating the need to use Scala and opening the doors for wide spread adoption.
In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of using the Java version of the Gatling stress testing tool. We will write many Gatling scripts from scratch against a target application created specifically for this course.
