BRIEF INTRODUCTION

During the final episode of Mare of Easttown, the HBO streaming service crashed - just as it happened during HBO's House of the Dragon season 1 premiere. In both cases, the site was unable to withstand the load, service was interrupted, and viewers quickly expressed their frustration on social media
Heavy traffic and performance issues can hit a business in any industry. The consequences are the same each time - a tainted company reputation, lost revenues, and disappointed users. Such unpleasant outcomes are avoidable if you do performance testing.
The ISTQB® Performance Testing course provides knowledge of the principal aspects of performance testing, including technical aspects, method-based aspects, and organizational aspects. Specifically pertaining to performance testing, it covers areas such as basic concepts, measurements, activities, tasks, and tools.
