Abstract

Capacity planning is performed based on expected transaction load and the resource utilization for each expected transaction. Resource usage is determined for one or more transactions or URLs based on transaction specific and non-transaction specific resource usage. Once the resource usage for each transaction is known, the expected resource usage may be determined for an expected quantity of each transaction. The actual resources needed to meet the expected resource usage are then determined. Resources may include hardware or software, such as a central processing unit, memory, hard disk bandwidth, network bandwidth, and other computing system components. The expected resource usage for a transaction may based on the usage directly related to the transaction and usage not directly related to the transaction but part of a process associated with the performed transactions.
