Performance Testing 101 Workshop

In this workshop, you will understand what performance testing is and why you need to test for performance. You will also understand the difference between front-end and back-end performance testing and know the different metrics that are important when doing these two areas of performance testing. Finally, you will learn what testing tools you can use to measure the performance of an example website. This workshop will have a hands-on activity where we will run front-end performance checks as well as back-end performance checks on a sample website and give you the knowledge on how to analyse the results.

A Hybrid Approach to Performance Testing

In this talk, I want to introduce you to both frontend and backend performance testing and why a hybrid approach to performance testing is needed to make sure that your website is performant. I will also give a quick walkthrough as to how tools such as k6 and xk6-browser can help with running both protocol-level (how performance testing is normally run through concurrent interactions at the protocol layer) and browser-level tests (testing with real browsers to provide a more realistic performance test).

A Medley of Frontend and Backend Performance Testing

In this talk, I want to introduce you to both frontend and backend performance testing and why a medley of these testing activities are needed to make sure that your website is performant. I'll also give a quick walkthrough as to how tools such as k6 can help with running both protocol-level (how performance testing is normally run through concurrent interactions at the protocol layer) and browser-level tests (testing with real browsers to provide a more realistic performance test). By the end of this talk, you should be equipped with new knowledge regarding frontend and backend performance testing which you can apply to your work projects.
