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

In the previous lesson, we learned how to use a Gatling recorder and run the captured test script. In this lesson, we will learn how to set up the environment for writing our first Gatling test script. As we discussed before, **Gradle** allows us to cache dependencies locally and download them in parallel. Let's see how it's done.

# Installation of prerequisites



For installing Gradle, **Java 8** is preferred. 

## Mac / Linux

Let's install [brew](https://brew.sh/) first.

Once brew is installed, run the following command to install **Gradle**.


```
brew install gradle
```

## Windows
Let's install [scoop](https://scoop.sh/) first by running the following command in [Powershell](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/).

```
Invoke-Expression (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://get.scoop.sh')

# or shorter
iwr -useb get.scoop.sh | iex
``` 

Once **scoop** is installed, run the following command to install **Gradle**.

```
scoop install gradle
``` 




Learn how to set up the Gatling test project programmatically and install the required software for running Gatling test scripts.
