Abstract :
There are many techniques and tools for Web application testing, but few of these address the procedure for gathering user session data accessed in a production environment to assist in testing Web application performance. In this paper, we present a session-based approach to automatically generate performance test cases by exploiting user session information taken from server logs. Such test cases are used for generating synthetic workload to evaluate performance. This paper illustrates the prototype implementation of our session-based performance test case generation approach.
