Web Application Performance Testing

TL;DRAbstract

Web application performance testing is an emerging and important field of software engineering. As web applications become more commonplace and complex, the need for performance testing will only increase.
\n
\nThis paper discusses common concepts, practices and tools that lie at the heart of web application performance testing. A pragmatic, hands-on approach is assumed where applicable; real-life examples of test tooling, execution and analysis are presented right next to the underpinning theory.
\n
\nAt the client-side, web application performance is primarily driven by the amount of data transmitted over the wire. At the server-side, selection of programming language and platform, implementation complexity and configuration are the primary contributors to web application performance.
\n
\nWeb application performance testing is an activity that requires delicate coordination between project stakeholders, developers, system administrators and testers in order t
