SQL Server Performance Tuning: Testing & Dev Practical Guide

Are you ready to unlock the full potential of SQL Server performance? This hands-on course, designed for testers and developers, delves into diagnosing, measuring, and optimizing SQL Server performance to ensure efficient, robust applications. You’ll learn practical techniques to detect bottlenecks, optimize queries, improve indexing, and streamline code to handle larger datasets and higher loads.

Throughout this course, you’ll work with real-world case studies that highlight common performance issues, such as inefficient data structures, excessive server round-trips, and poor indexing strategies. Core topics include indexing, execution plans, data access optimization, and efficient query structures. With practical examples, you’ll see how to apply best practices in different scenarios and avoid performance traps. You’ll gain hands-on experience with tools for measuring performance, identifying bottlenecks, optimizing resources, and improving the user experience, along with skills to analyze execution plans and diagnose costly queries.

By the end of this course, you’ll be equipped to identify and resolve performance issues with effective troubleshooting and tuning tools. You’ll not only enhance database speed but also minimize resource consumption, reducing costs and improving application responsiveness.

Whether you’re a tester aiming to spot performance problems or a developer eager to fine-tune database interactions, this course will provide you with actionable insights and hands-on skills you can immediately apply to real projects.
