JMeter fundamentals through specialized API and Database modules
Strengths
Specialized Testing Tracks
Instruction includes dedicated modules for WebService (Soap and Rest) testing alongside Database/JDBC performance testing using SQL queries.
Foundational Programming Support
The curriculum provides supplemental instruction in BeanShell scripting and Java fundamentals to support test automation.
Accessible Instructional Style
Learner signals indicate that demonstrations are easy to understand and helpful for those with minimal prior knowledge.
Limitations
Potential Version Mismatch
The curriculum contains specific instructions for recording in older JMeter versions; one signal from October 2025 suggests a mismatch with current software, though the June 2026 update label does not prove this has been corrected.
Incomplete Scripting Workflows
A signal from January 2025 suggests a lack of depth in end-to-end scripting scenarios, specifically regarding complex parameterization and correlation, which the June 2026 update may have addressed.
Missing Advanced Topics
A signal from July 2024 notes gaps in coverage regarding performance tuning, advanced frameworks, and comprehensive CI/CD integration; the June 2026 update label does not guarantee these have been added.
