Abstract

With the new software architecture appearing, the application performance evaluation becomes quite difficult. Based on previous studies, a new architecture is proposed concerning using multi-agent network data in the application performance evaluation. Architecture defined both active and passive methods to simulate and test. Multi-agents on the network and under-test components communicate and interact to find the performance result and the bottle neck of the system. Architecture includes the agents' arrangement, different agent's distribution and their running process. It is a black-box test method and could simulate several different parallel relative transactions at the same time. Test is started from link end that no configuration should be done. This architecture is proved by a real information system test.
