Performance Test Engineer

Must have:

• Design and develop load, stress, endurance, and scalability tests for web applications, APIs, and backend systems using

  Apache JMeter

  .
• Write test plans, scenarios, and scripts based on business requirements, technical specifications, and system performance objectives.
• Execute performance testing for both front-end and back-end systems, simulating real-world user loads.
• Monitor system performance during testing, including

  response times

  ,

  transaction times

  ,

  throughput

  , and resource utilization (

  CPU, Memory, and Disk I/O

  ).
• Analyse performance test results to identify bottlenecks, performance degradation, and areas for optimization.
• Provide detailed performance reports, including recommendations for improving system performance.
• Present findings to stakeholders and collaborate with development teams to resolve performance issues.
• Collaborate with developers and system engineers to fine-tune applications and infrastructure based on test results.
• Develop scripts for automated regression and load testing to ensure system stability over time.
• Work closely with development teams to ensure performance considerations are integrated into the development lifecycle.
• Maintain proper documentation of test plans, test cases, results, and lessons learned from performance testing.
• Experience using

  Apache JMeter

  for performance testing (creating and executing test scripts, reporting, and analysis).
• Strong understanding of performance testing concepts (load testing, stress testing & scalability testing).
• Strong problem-solving skills, particularly in diagnosing performance issues and identifying root causes.
• Ability to analyse performance test results and generate actionable insights.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills to present test results and collaborate with cross-functional teams.
• Ability to document test cases, issues, and recommendations clearly.
• Experience with cloud-based performance testing using platforms such as
