Almost every company in the world needs to test its scalability and performance of their products or applications.

In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of Gatling, an open-source performance testing tool that is in great demand in the software industry. You will start by learning the basics of performance testing including scalability testing and stress testing.

You will then move on to more advanced concepts such as writing Gatling scripts, understanding web page performance and simulating network throttling using puppeteer and lighthouse tools.

Lastly, you will learn to set up Continuous Integration (CI) using Jenkins for Gatling which will be useful for running tests remotely. By the end of this course, you will have some new great skills for your resume.

Performance Test Automation 101: Gatling, Lighthouse, & Jenkins

# What is stress testing?

Stress testing is also known as endurance testing.  It verifies the system’s error handling capability and its reliability under extreme conditions or load for a prolonged duration.

We have already discussed stress testing and how it differs from load testing in the [Load and Stress Testing](https://www.educative.io/courses/performance-test-automation-101-gatling-lighthouse-jenkins/load-and-stress-testing#what-is-stress-testing) lesson.
