Abstract
A method and system for simulating application workloads on an e-business application sewer hosting e-business application programs. A test driver can simulate different workloads and enable monitoring of e business applications. A work request for a placebo transaction can be forwarded to the application server for processing. The placebo transaction can be a workload used to test the application server by placing a load on the application server. The placebo transaction can emulate realtime tasks and activities within the application server. The workloads for the placebo transactions can require varying levels of processing resources. The placebo transaction can include hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) traffic. A work request can include HTTP requests for accomplishing e-business related calculations, and retrieving and/or storing information in a database.
