Oh just seeing this.
So happy for this, you are a great mentor and tutor I must say.

Thank for all you have done so far in the testing world.

Ever since I started my testing journey, I have never joke with any of your videos. Thanks for putting this together

I believe more update are coming from your end

[techwitheds]

Thanks for taking your time to explain this. I am about to create a new video where I analyze the impact of infrastructure on latency and your video really help me get up to speed into load testing. Now that I watched everything, I can now build on top of it. Thanks again for saving me time of frustration I would be facing if I had to read the documentation.

[donatesmile]

Thank you sir for this informative video. Sir, Do you provide the live training? I mean I want to learn Jmeter in Detailed.

[bcoleone]

hi mate great lecture, am still not clear on how to organise a suite of tests that cover the different types of testing ie load, stress, spike how do you structure your framework?
also when executing are we running in a cloud machine or a local laptop?

[bijilinroy]

Thanks for the contents.
Can you please provide a session on Integrating Jmeter with Taurus to view results and reporting in windows?

[smarthari]

Sir, please post Masterclass videos for Loadrunner, Neoload, Dynatrace and TOSCA
