About the Instructor:

Venkat has nearly 8+ years of rich, varied and extensive experience in Performance Testing. His impeccable passion for sharing his knowledge has motivated to take-up Technical Training. He has 8+ years of real time experience and 2+ years Technical Training experience. During this knowledge-sharing travel, he has taken multiple batches of performance testing tools like Loadrunner, Dynatrac Appdynamics, Performance Engineering and trained 100+ students via different modes (Online, classroom).

I am able to Record, Replay back, Add transactions & Add Check Points, then why should I take this course?
This course is much deeper than that. Students reported that they were able to troubleshoot the issues by themselves after attending the course. Also, reported that the course helped them to break the interviews confidently. Lots of C functions, LR functions, conversions etc…will be discussed. If you are lead, you will understand what NFR’s to collect from client and exact process to follow during project implementation. (PTLC).
