Abstract:
Effi cient web application is a challenge that we need to achieve when architecting web applications. This research follows a performance testing approach that aims to utilize load testing tools to give ideas about performance issues early in the development life cycle for applications implemented using Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) or .NETplatform. Thus, it helps system architects to choose amongst competitive frameworks. To achieve this aim, the applications are subjected to artifi cial workload. Direct measurements are obtained on the specifi ed application scenarios using different testing tools. Parasoft WebKing and Hewlett-Packard LoadRunner were used for this purpose. Later on, the obtained results were compared in order to verify the results.
