Web App Simulation Reports

Modern web applications have evolved into highly sophisticated platforms, delivering rich, interactive, and graphics-intensive user experiences. Behind the scenes, these applications rely on increasingly complex infrastructures composed of multiple layers of hardware, software, and network components that must operate seamlessly together. At the same time, the business criticality of web applications has grown significantly - every minute of degraded performance or downtime can translate into hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost revenue.

The Web App Simulator, a part of the eG Enterprise, is a purpose-built solution for monitoring any type of web application. The Web App Simulation supports multi-step transactions from multiple locations so that user experience is measured by location. A Selenium driver-based recording engine records all user interactions - mouse clicks, keystrokes, user pauses, etc. A playback engine uses the recorded script for playback, and based on the responses seen, reports the response time and availability of the application. The Web App Simulator helps administrators identify slowdowns,response time delays etc.

For historical analysis of the simulated results, the eG Reporter provides a Web App Simulation Reports category. The reports can be generated as an overview of the target environment, or for one/more scripts, or for one/all external agents or location.

The forthcoming sections will elaborately discuss each report presented in this category.
