System and method for monitoring execution time of a transaction

摘要

The present invention is directed toward providing a system for monitoring a transaction executing on a network computer, wherein the data from the monitoring process is sent to a computer other than the browser on which the transaction is executing and other than the computer from which the transaction was downloaded. Exemplary embodiments of the invention are directed toward a system and method for monitoring a transaction executing on a network computer, including the steps of linking an applet within a web page on a web server to at least one monitoring code file; sending the web page from the web server to a client browser within a network; executing the linked applet within the web page on the client browser; invoking the monitoring code file to monitor a transaction within the linked applet on the client browser; and sending data from monitoring the transaction to a measurement computer, wherein the measurement computer is a computer other than the web server.
