Effective Use of Automated Load Testing Tools to Tune Web Applications Web-based systems are some of the most complex systems we
are building today. They involve many, sometimes disparate components that need
to work together as a single unit to provide the functionality and performance
needed for today's businesses. These components could include Web Servers,
Application Servers, Load Balancers, Networks, Firewalls, Database Systems,
Legacy Systems, Software Drivers / Translators, and Internet Service Providers.
This presentation will discuss how the use of automated load testing tools can
be used to verify operation, identify and
correct problems associated with high use, web-based systems.
