At the end you should have a list of URLs and their frequency of use.
Try to answer the following question for each test scenario:
· How many users constitute a normal load? How many users constitute a peak load? How many, in each load, were simultaneous?
· How much time elapses between each user click?
· What URLs are visited the most?
· Are there any “paths” through the site? A path is defined as a per-defined or intuitive manner (through a specific sequence of URLs) to access resources on your site.
Remember to factor into your analysis that there could be spikes in your traffic (i.e., a holiday promotion or new advertising campaign).
Now feed this data into Webserver Stress Tool, hit “Start Test” and keep your fingers crossed!
