Abstract:
A method to facilitate measuring quality-of-service of a computer network server, wherein measuring quality-of-service includes determining an effect that transactions in a first category of service have on transactions in a second category of service, the method comprising:generating a varying pattern of synthetic transactions for the first category of service at a synthetic transaction generator; generating a fixed pattern of synthetic transactions for the second category of service at the synthetic transaction generator; sending the varying pattern and the fixed pattern of synthetic transactions across one of a network and a direct coupling to the computer network server; receiving a response to the varying pattern and the fixed pattern of synthetic transactions from the computer network server; measuring a first response time for the varying pattern of synthetic transactions and a second response time for the fixed pattern of synthetic transactions; and calculating the effect of transactions in the first category of service on response times in the second category of service.
