Abstract

In this paper, a mobile agent based approach is investigated to provide the underlying framework for monitoring the performance tests at a remote website. Mobile agents are autonomous and dynamic entities that can migrate between various nodes in the network. They offer many advantages over traditional design methodologies, including: reduction in network load, overcoming network latency and disconnected operations. This research aims to explore the adaptability of the mobile agent approach for website performance testing. It analyses the applicability of mobile agents in carrying out a monitoring task. We have designed and implemented the monitoring framework. The performance of mobile agents is compared with the non-agent approach. Analyzing the results for the same purpose and environments, the mobile agent approach performs better in reducing the load on the host server and saving communication bandwidth than the traditional approaches.
