Abstract
A method for testing a web site including creating at least one monitor to monitor at least one system that handles an electronic transaction, determining whether a test of the electronic transactions should be executed, monitoring the systems wherein monitor information is collected by a monitor, and processing the monitor information. The monitor information is then used in a subsequent monitor. This may be repeated for multiple subsequent monitors so that all subsequent monitors are using the original monitor information, or each subsequent monitor may use monitor information from the monitor before. Preferably all monitors are involved in the same chain of electronic transactions, so that the transactions are performed end-to-end. A monitor interface allows a user to control the execution of the composite monitor and the inclusion and timing of the individual monitors within the composite monitor.
