Assessing Performance in Framework Web Applications

To resolve a performance issue in your Framework web application you need to do this repeatedly:

  1. Identify the most significant problem area.
  2. Make a change that you think will alleviate the problem.
  3. Assess the impact of the change (is it actually better or worse?)
  4. Identify the next most significant problem area and go back to step 2.

You need to use a structured and reproducible technique in identifying the problem area and assessing any changes you make. Following are some suggestions about doing this.

Step 1. Use consistent and reproducible environments

Step 2. Make a Reproducible Assessment Script (ie: a RAS)

Step 3. Perform your RAS - To get a Baseline or to Test a Change

Step 4. Assessing the Average CPU per Server Interaction

Step 5. Identify and Assess any Client-side Problem Areas

Step 6. Identify and Assess any Server Side Problem Areas
