Nowadays, a web application with high
response time and poor performance can lead to huge
problems. So, I want to propose Web Load Testing
System to avoid these problems. Web Load Testing will
help in identifying the performance problems before we
deploy our web applications for end users. And then,
design and simulate usage traffic which can be used to
test our web application infrastructure for performance
(response times), reliability (availability and integrity)
and scalability (throughput). Load Testing of web
applications involves testing the performance and
scalability of our web application with varying user
load. Moreover, involves simulating real-life user load
for the target web application. Concurrently, determine
how our web application behaves when multiple users
hits it simultaneously. There are several load testing
tools for web application available in the open source
nowadays that are free of charge. One of them is
AppPerfect Load Test Tool is used in this systemthat
provide a script recorder that allow to easily record
user actions into a script through graphical user
interface and replay the scripts simultaneously as a
load test and analyze the parameterization and
validation process as user define.Whenever,
scenariossuch as large number of concurrent users,
large number of URLs, sustained usage over
hours/days, etc. can be tested using HTTP/HTTPS and
JDBC protocols.
