Dominant behavior identification of load data

Abstract

Web applications are meant to be viewed by human user. Quality of web application is our primary concern. An application is said to be a quality application when the users do not face any problem while using it. For this purpose performance testing is needed. For getting knowledge about the performance issues (such as response time), performance testing is performed. Performance testing basically shows the behavior of the application towards the load on it. Load testing is a kind of performance testing which is performed for knowing about the application response towards the load. It is very important to find out load testing problems to make sure that load testing results are correct. This paper presents a method which mines the log execution of the web application to show the dominant behavior of the load. Dominant behavior is the expected behavior of the load on the application. This method will show the dominant behavior on the basis of IP address. On the basis of IP address one can easily find out the location of the user which increases the security parameter of the application.
