Patent ID: 8087008

Claim:
A web load test method that acquires information about a response from a web server device as a test target by applying access load on the web server device, the method comprising: generating, by using a processor, a plurality of virtual web clients each of which transmits a request message to the web server device as a test target and receives a response message from the web server device according to a scenario used at a web load test; storing, by using the processor, orders in the scenario and information indicating necessity of synchronization between or among the plurality of virtual web clients into a storage, wherein the information is associated with at least one order among the orders; making, by using the processor, in accesses by the plurality of virtual web clients according to the scenario, one or more of the plurality of virtual web clients interrupt the accesses according to the scenario until a time when all the plurality of virtual web clients receive the response message corresponding to the at least one order, wherein each of one or more of the plurality of virtual web clients has received a response message corresponding to the at least one order; resuming, by using the processor, the accesses according to the scenario when all the plurality of virtual web clients receive the response message corresponding to the at least one order; rewriting, by using the processor, the information stored in the storage so that an order associated with the information is changed; and storing, by using the processor, into the storage, pages indicating each of the orders in the scenario used at the web load test and synchronization flags associated with each of the pages, wherein the synchronization flags indicate necessity or unnecessity of synchronization regarding each of the pages.
