Abstract
In the WWW, server push, which allows bidirectional communication between the server and the web browser, is an essential part of modern web application. In order for the server push to ensure high levels of interaction with the browser, the performance of the server application is of utmost importance. The server push application has a different communication mechanism from the typical web application, hence making it hard for the currently-existing load test tools to run an accurate performance test. In this paper, in order to run an accurate performance test of the server push application, we analyzed the workload characteristics of server push, while designing and implementing SERLOG, a load test tool that can run accurate tests on the performance. In addition, through comparisons with the other web load testing tools, we have proved how SERLOG accurately represents the workload of server push and provides the necessary performance data.
