Web application performance analysis based on comprehensive load testing

Web application performance analysis plays an important role in quantifying Web application's QoS and designing the server's configuration. This research paper presents a performance analysis method based on comprehensive load testing by running a series of load testing on the client side while resource consuming is also performed on the server side. A performance model is then built based on these test results, which gives us a method to quantify and analysis system performance. We applied this method on a typical Web application system. By comparing the results with other traditional load testing methods, we have proven the feasibility, accuracy and efficiency of this method.
