Key Responsibilities:

• Performance Testing: Design, develop, and execute performance test scripts to

assess application and system performance under various load conditions.

• Tool Proficiency: Proficient in using performance testing tools like JMeter,

LoadRunner, Gatling, or NeoLoad to simulate real-world traffic and analyze

performance.

• Tech Stack : Experience in SpringBoot framework and building microservices is a

core expectation

• Analysis & Reporting: Analyze results of performance tests and produce detailed

reports outlining performance metrics, issues, and recommendations.

• Identify Bottlenecks: Collaborate with development and infrastructure teams to

identify and resolve bottlenecks in the system.

• Load & Stress Testing: Conduct load, stress, and scalability testing on web, mobile,

and distributed applications.

• Performance Tuning: Work on identifying, isolating, and fixing performance-related

issues through code optimization, resource tuning, or architecture changes.

• Continuous Improvement: Advocate for performance best practices in the

software development lifecycle and continuously improve performance testing

strategies.

• Test Automation: Develop and maintain automated performance testing scripts

and integrate them into CI/CD pipelines.
