Abstract

Distributed systems and network applications play an important role in computer science nowadays. The most common consideration is performance, because these systems have to provide cost-effective and high availability services in the long term, thus they have to be scaled to meet the expected load. The performance of a web application is affected by several factors. The goal of our work is to analyze how some of them affect the response time. The paper presents the result of performance measurements of an ASP.NET web application. We measured the average response time of a test web application while changing the parameters of the application server. The results are analyzed using statistical methods: (i) independence tests to investigate which factors influence principally the performance, (ii) in addition certain plots and hypothesis tests to determine the distribution of the response time.
