Modern performance testing doesn’t have to be expensive or complex. In this session, you’ll learn how to build scalable API load tests using nothing but free tools and browser-generated .HAR files. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that captures real user interactions, isolates performance-critical endpoints, and transforms them into structured load scenarios.You’ll see how to:Generate and extract .HAR files using browser-based toolsParse and organize API calls to identify key performance targetsConvert .HAR data into reusable scripts with a free coordination toolSimulate realistic traffic patterns and stress conditions—without paid softwareWhether you’re part of a lean QA team or just starting out with performance testing, this session offers a replicable blueprint for building robust test suites with zero budget.
