Model-Driven Performance Evaluation of Web Application Portals
Nilabja Roy, Douglas C. Schmidt · IGI Global eBooks · 2011
Web application portals cater to various types of concurrent users and requests. The number of requests varies by time of day and day of week. Despite the variation in workload, it is important to provide the expected performance (response time) to users of these applications. To assure an appropriate level of performance, web application portals should be analyzed and evaluated throughout their software development lifecycles. Model Driven Architecture (MDA) provides a structured process for developing and analyzing web application portals from the requirement analysis to the ultimate deployment. This chapter examines recent advances in performance analysis methods for web application portals and shows how they can be integrated with MDA methods to analyze performance analysis throughout their software development lifecycles.
