Analyze the performance of new edge web application's over N-tiers layer architecture

Abstract

This paper is an empirical case study to predict or estimate the performance and variability of same type software frameworks used for web application development. First we explore and analyze (Web Applications) PHP and ASP.NET considering quality attributes. Second we develop two same web applications i.e. Online Book's Mart (Web applications to purchase books online) in PHP and ASP.NET. Finally we conduct automated testing to determine and analyze application's performance. Software architecture, CSS, database design, database constraints were tried to keep simple and same for both applications i.e. Applications developed in PHP and ASP.NET. This similarity helps to establish realistic comparison of applications performance and variability. The application's performance and variability is measured with help of automated scripts. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
