Abstract

The web applications have become fundamental part of every day's life and their well-performing have become essential. This paper proposes an approach to evaluate the performance of web application system throughout the developing process. The approach consists of three Java models: workload, simulation and performance analyzer. Workload model aims to mimic a set of real users accessing the web application system. While the second model intentions to log performance measurements of web application system through simulation, the performance measurements are evaluated by the last model. For this work, average response time, total number http of requests and throughput are considered for web application performance metrics. The related experiment results are compared with actual hosted system and found that they are close with an average variant of 7.8% from the real performance measurements.
