A STATE CONSTRAINED WEB BROWSER NAVIGATION SYSTEM PROVIDING A SIMPLE TRANSACTION CONFIGURATION TOOL

摘要

A software product (115) tests and monitors an Internet server system (100). Advantageously, the software product (115) communicates with a web browser (141) without the need for other client software to configure transactions. The user of the web browser (141) is guided through web pages to record, edit, and playback transactions. Recording may occur over a secure connection. The software product (115) performs automated tests using the transactions in addition to measuring both system performance data and business performance data. The software product (115) generates alarms when thresholds are exceeded. The test data, performance data, and alarms are correlated in time and presented graphically to the user.
