An Experimental Study of Response Times of Web Applications

Performance testing is an important way to ensure the success of a Web application However, if the test is not properly performed or the dependency on the testing environment is not fully understood, the results may be misleading Response time is a key measure of performance, especially from the user’s perspective A series of studies to characterize response time of Web applications are presented The experimental results are analyzed using statistical methods The study shows that the response time increases linearly with the number of users, and it is also affected by the time of testing and test configuration
