LOAD TESTING FOR JQUERY BASED MOBILE WEBSITES USING BORLAND SILK PERFORMER™

The growing embracement of smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices has fuelled the escalation of mobile websites in recent years. Mobile devices have become the principal standard of communication for consumers as well as business worldwide. Strategy Analytics’ WSS (Smartphones) research service predicts, by the end of 2015, the number of smartphone users will have grown to 2.5 billion, or 35% of the world’s population. At the same time the expectations for performance are increasing and the applications they are accessing are becoming ever more critical to the business. It is now mandatory for businesses to ensure the performance of applications in their mobile environments. Load Test is the simplest form of performance testing. A load test is usually conducted to understand the behavior of the application under a specific expected load. This load can be the expected concurrent number of users on the application performing a specific number of transactions within the set duration.
