Performance testing of a system will be done using YourKit Java profiler and Jmeter load testing tools. YourKit is a Java profiler that can analyze CPU usage, threads, memory, garbage collection, exceptions, and detect deadlocks. It helps find performance and scalability issues early in development. The presentation will cover the functionality of YourKit and how to integrate it into Eclipse. Requirements for using YourKit like downloading and ensuring client and agent versions match will also be discussed.
