Method to configure monitoring thresholds using output of load or resource loadings

A method of hybrid load testing a selected plurality of identified resources that are objects on a web page or objects provided by a back end system, the method including:

• conducting a hybrid load test of a plurality of the identified resources, including:
• load testing by simulating a multiplicity of user sessions requesting particular resource objects;
• and
• experience testing load time of at least components of a subject web app during the load testing, wherein the experience testing emulates a browser, and records at least response times for loading the identified resources and nested resource objects;
• identifying from the load testing and experience testing some of the particular resource objects as more sensitive than others;
• and
• generating data for display that includes the identified more sensitive particular resource objects.

At least one device, including a processor, a network interface, and memory storing computer instructions that, when executed on the processor, cause the device to perform a method of identifying and load testing resources invoked by a web app (inclusive of a web application or a web page), the method including:

• initiating a load test of a subject web app that requests resources from a system under test, including,
• for each testable resource in a set of multiple testable resources that are objects on a web page or objects provided by a back end system, causing a test load to vary for the testable resource in a test segment, and
• collecting from the test segment at least one measure of load-dependent results related to expected user experience as the test load varies;
• correlating the load-dependent results and identifying co-variant load-dependent results;
• using the identified co-variant load-dependent results to suggest or set an alert threshold for a load-dependent result;
• and
• storing the alert threshold to be applied by a monitoring device monitoring the web app and sending alerts to an operator via visual or non-visual display when the alert threshold is met.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed on a processor device, cause the device to perform a method of hybrid load testing a selected plurality of identified resources that are objects on a web page or objects provided by a back end system, the method including:

• conducting a hybrid load test of a plurality of the identified resources, including:
• load testing by simulating a multiplicity of user sessions requesting particular resource objects;
• and
• experience testing load time of at least components of a subject web app during the load testing, wherein the experience testing emulates a browser, and records at least response times for loading the identified resources and nested resource objects;
• identifying from the load testing and experience testing some of the particular resource objects as more sensitive than others;
• and
• generating data for display that includes the identified more sensitive particular resource objects.
