Abstract:
1. A method for simulating application workload on an e-business application server hosting a plurality of e-business application programs, comprising: forwarding a simulated transaction work request to the e-business application server hosting a plurality of application programs, wherein the simulated transaction work request includes a priority indicator and results in a load being applied to the e-business application server; receiving said forwarded simulated transaction work request by a workload driver; said workload driver automatically translating said forwarded simulated transaction work request into computer program operations to be performed in the e-business application server based on the priority indicator, wherein said automatically translating step is determined by configuration information contained within a configuration file, said configuration file associating computer program commands with transaction work requests, and wherein reconfiguring said configuration file varies a processing complexity and duration of at least one of the computer program commands; and executing said computer program operation in the e-business application server.
