Abstract

The web applications have now become one of the most important parts of people’s life. It entered the time-to-market age, that is, the faster released the products, the more the chances that it will increase the company potentialities. System stability test plays an important role of improving the service quality and developing these web applications. There were three well-known strategies to solve this problem: developing application program interface to measure the response time, through open source softwares (e.g. Jmeter), and via the commercial packages (e.g. LoadRunner). LoadRunner is an industry-standard package that has the advantages of graph-based analysis, statistical analysis of the measured data, service-level agreement, and the loading analysis for the client end compared with other strategies. This paper demonstrated that it monitored the service quality of web applications using the smoke and stress tests for travel service applications via LoadRunner. And we proposed a strategy for on-line web server testing. We hope that the practical experience and the information are useful for researchers.
