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.
