Prerequisites 

This intermediate course is for testers who know how to create and run scripts in Perfecto. The examples provided will be a mobile test written in Java, but the same approach works in other programming languages, such as C#, Python, JavaScript, and Ruby.

You should have a basic understanding of how to navigate the BlazeMeter web interface.  

No prior knowledge of test data management in BlazeMeter is required for this course, but to make the most of this feature, we recommend taking the BlazeMeter Test Data: Fundamentals course next.
