Hi there. Greetings from Argentina.

I have 2 questions for you, as a Manual tester I want to improve and get my knowledges strong before moving to automation. And Perf. Testing is one of my pending. So, the questions are:

1_ Which Perf tool is recommended to start in Performance testing for a beginner? Gatling, Jmeter or other?
2_ Do I need to know programming or some coding knowledge for Gatling?


Thanks in advance. 😀👍🏻

[FiRFLYred]

Hi Raghav, Completed the Gatling tutorial completely and its a very interesting tool.I am currently working for a Gatling POC for an Airline application. Its a lengthy flow where in a user navigates from Flight Search > Flight Selection > Seat Selection > Ancillaries > Hotel selection and Payment.

For such a lengthy flow, what’s the mode of scripting you recommend. Please note we need to correlate and Parameterize using feeders as well.
awaiting your response.

[omkarsakhare]

Hi Raghav, thank you for the detailed explanation, please help me with the following questions
How much coding skills are required to use the Gatling tool? or
Anyone who doesn't have any coding knowledge, can run load tests in Gatling?

[ShubhamSharma-bnmi]
