Titel
Towards testing response time of instances of a web-based product line
Abstract
Instances of a product line share code, but might differ in the nonfunctional quality attributes (e.g., response time and load). This difference is either because of the requirements on the instances of a product line or being influenced by the architecture decision to achieve high reuse. Hence, testing these non-functional qualities attributes is equally important as their functional counterparts. This paper describes our on-going work aimed to realize an environment for testing the response time and load of a product line, in the domain of stock market. The major components of this environment are a) selective injection of code (using byte code instrumentation technology), b) generation of load and c) support for visualization of response time. We discuss the challenges and the need for such an environment in the context of product lines and then discuss the current results of using the proposed approach on an instance of a product line.
