Abstract
When browsing the Web, users demand the low latency, high throughput and high availability of Web pages. Therefore each Web site should be measured, tested and evaluated from the user’s perspective. In the paper, we present the architecture of the system MWING that is able to test, measure and diagnose Web sites from the user point of view. It is a new generation system that adds new functions and extends the functionality and performance of the previously developed WING tool. MWING is now the multiagent measurement platform able to cooperate with independently developed measurement agents. Here we present how the MWING works and how the new architecture meets the ultimate user needs.
