Abstract:
Nowadays, web based large-scale systems, such as search engines, are widely used. The popularity of search engines created a new environment in which the applications need to be highly scalable due to the data tsunami generated by a huge load of requests. In this context, the main problem is to validate how far the web applications especially search engines can deal with the load generated by the clients. Load testing, in general, refers to the practice of accessing the system behavior under load. In this paper, we study on search engine performances’ dependencies related to network bandwidth and Internet browsers in aspect of load testing. We observed that search engines’ speed is dependent on Internet browsers and network bandwidth.
