SYSTEM FOR MEASURING THE RESPONSE TIME OF A SERVER USING DUMMY REQUEST TAGS AND METHOD FOR SAME

摘要

Disclosed are a server response time measurement method and system which measure the response time of an application server to a transaction which is processing a service request from a user terminal. The disclosed device comprises: a results page capture unit which receives a processing results webpage that relates to a service request from an application server; a dummy request insertion unit which inserts a tag requesting a dummy service in the application server into the processing results webpage; a results page transmission unit which transmits the processing results webpage to a user terminal; a dummy request receiving unit which receives a dummy request for a dummy request tag from a user terminal; and a response time estimation unit which estimates the response time by using the arrival time of the dummy request. The disclosed device and method measure the response time between a user terminal and a server by merely inserting an additional dummy request tag in a processing results webpage, and enable the stable and accurate measurement of a transaction response time without the introduction of expensive additional equipment or the installation of additional programmes onto a user terminal.
