Abstract
A method and corresponding device provides for automatically detecting a protocol for a load testing routine. The method includes the steps of, for an application to be load tested, executing the application and recording communications between a first tier and a second tier during the execution. The recording step includes recording modules loaded by the application, recording network traffic and Web traffic, comparing the recorded modules, network traffic and Web traffic to a rule set, and based on the comparing step, selecting one or more protocols appropriate for load testing the application. Finally, the method includes the step of generating a script based on the recorded communications and the protocols, where the script specifies the protocols.
