Penetration Testing & Performance Testing: Essential Tools for Next-Level QA

We’re excited to invite you to our upcoming BrowserStack Meetup in Chandigarh where we’ll dive deep into two essential areas of QA: Penetration Testing and Performance Testing.

Date: Saturday, 22nd February 2025
Time: 11:00 AM onwards

Session 1: Penetration Testing and strengthening cyber defence

* Understanding Penetration Testing: What it is, its purpose, and how it simulates real-world cyberattacks to uncover vulnerabilities.
* Importance of Penetration Testing: How it prevents cyberattacks, ensures compliance with standards like PCI DSS, GDPR, and ISO 27001, and minimizes security risks.
* Types and Phases of Penetration Testing: Overview of key testing types and phases, including information gathering, scanning, exploitation, and reporting.
* Best Practices for Effective Testing: Setting clear objectives, ethical considerations, and ensuring comprehensive and actionable reporting.
* Emerging Trends and Challenges: Addressing challenges like false positives, evolving technologies, and resource constraints while exploring trends like AI-driven pentrating and IoT security.

Session 2: Untangling Performance Testing Complexities with JMeter
by Parteek Goel

• Introduction to Performance Testing: Importance and types (Load, Stress, Spike Testing).
• Getting Started with JMeter: Installation, setup, and interface overview.
• Creating a Performance Test Plan: Designing test plans, defining objectives, and identifying metrics.
• Practical Demonstration: Hands-on example: Web app performance test setup and multi-user simulation.
• Analyzing Test Results: Interpreting JMeter reports, identifying bottlenecks.
• Best Practices for Performance Testing: Effective test case design, load patterns, server monitoring.

This is an excellent opportunity to level up your testing skills and network with fellow professionals in the field. Don’t miss out!

Looking forward to seeing you there!
