A Reactivity-based Framework of Automated Performance Testing for Web Applications

To improve the reliability and feasibility of web applications, performance testing is very important for satisfying users. For reducing the cost and improve the efficiency of performance testing, we propose a new reactivity-based performance testing framework in this paper. We also provide a complete approach to generate test cases automatically from original web logs. First our approach retrieves user patterns through logs at the server side. Then, metrics derived from users´ perspective are applied and usage pattern from client side are gained. At last test case can be generated automatically by solving an optimization problem through an evolutionary algorithm.
