Abstract:

As an important means to guarantee stability and reliability of Web applications system, Web load testing is becoming a very important part in software development lifecycle. However, different from traditional software testing, Web load testing is very difficult because of the complexity and unpredictability of user behavior of Web applications. Against the above problems, a Web usage frequent pattern subtree ming algorithm is proposed. This method gets frequently visited Web pages from the user's access log, analyzes the behavior characteristics of the user and makes the test load environment close to the real world. Finally, the performance testing tool LoadRunner is used to conduct load test on an actual project and the result verifies the effectiveness and practicality of the method.

Key words: load test, Web usage mining, frequent access pattern, LoadRunner
