Generating production server load activity for a test server

摘要

A method of replicating on a test server a production load of a production server. The method can include creating the production load on the production server by processing client requests received from clients. The method further can include, while the client requests are processed, via a processor, in real time, replicating the production load to generate a replicated production load that represents the client requests and defines state information representing unique states formed between the production server and the respective clients. The method also can include, in real time, communicating the replicated production load in order to replicate the production load on the test server.

1. A method of replicating on a test server a production load of a production server, the method comprising:
receiving from the production server a plurality of messages representing the production load on the production server, each message corresponding to a respective client request received from a respective client; and responsive to receiving each message, in real time, identifying a respective production socket connection via which the client request is communicated from the respective client to the production server, parsing data from the message, from the parsed data, generating a replicated client request corresponding to the client request, wherein the replicated client request comprises state information representing a unique state formed between the production server and the respective client, and, in real time, communicating, via a test socket connection correlating to the production socket connection, the replicated client request to a test server in order to replicate the production load on the test server.
