METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR WEB SITE PERFORMANCE MONITORING AND TESTING BY VARIABLE SIMULTANEOUS ANGULATION

摘要

A system for monitoring and measuring web applications by a user monitors a web site (11) from multiple points of presence (3, 5) and alerts the web site operator when problems are detected. The system may be used in both corporate intranets and by web site operators. It provides alert information when a web site is not responding, when outages occur, monitors availability, and provides information as to the cause of the problems. The system operates by probing web applications at a chosen frequency from several locations (3,5) simultaneously, which is called variable simultaneous angulation.
