performance testing for web and client/server applications

The extraordinary growth of the Client/Server(C/S) and World Wide Web technology has been sweeping through business and industry. Many companies have developed or integrated their critical applications using C/S or Web technologies. As these applications become more complex, testing of such applications becomes critical, particularly from the standpoint of performance. Performance depends, among other things, upon the load on the system at peak time under varying conditions. Performance testing is normally conducted in a simulated environment with the help of performance testing tools. However, performance of the system depends on numerous parameters and must be tested under varying stress levels. This Performance Testing For Web And Client/Server Applications provides an in-depth study of how to carry out performance testing of C/S and Web applications from the concept to implementation (in fine grain) through a case study.
