Performance Measurement of Web Services from Wireless Local Area Network using KITE

Abstract

service is the most common and popular application to exchange information over internet. It makes tasks easy, cost- effective, and comfortable from single user to corporate levels. Integration of different organizations or sub divisions of an organization can be done using web service with most efficient and cost effective way. To do this type of task, just enable the web services or configure web server does not mean that it will run well during peak hour or busy time. The most important issue is the performance of those services that means how much efficiently it will run or serve the purpose. To achieve the perfect service, the key concern things are response in shortest period of time and availability. The purpose of this study was to take a test based performance measurement of web services from Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) with Keynote Internet Testing Environment (KITE) features those includes Instant Test, Long Term Measurement and Script Testing. The main reason for taking this test with various locations of wireless local area network was to observe and identify how delay variation of response time of web services occurred with the changing of each network components and it has been done with the available feature of KITE.
