Load testing

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by a processor of a computing device to cause the processor to:

• obtain recorded lines of code of an application that are recorded during an execution of the application in a client computing device;
• perform a dependency analysis by examining the recorded lines of code in a chronological order to determine variables in the recorded lines of code that are dependent on other variables in the recorded lines of code;
• and
• perform an elimination analysis by identifying, from the recorded lines of code, a first line of code including a network call statement that calls a called variable, examining the recorded lines of code in a reversed chronological order to identify a second line of code that contains the called variable and another variable, determining whether the called variable called by the network call statement is dependent on the other variable appearing in the second line of code, and eliminating the second line of code based on a determination that the called variable called by the network call statement is not dependent on the other variable appearing in the second line of code.

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions executable to cause the processor to:
• obtain recorded lines of code of an application that are recorded during an execution of the application in a client computing device;
• perform a dependency analysis, including instructions that cause the processor to examine the recorded lines of code in a chronological order to determine variables in the recorded lines of code that are dependent on other variables in the recorded lines of code;
• store dependencies between the variables in a data storage;
• perform an elimination analysis, including instructions that cause the processor to:
• in response to identifying, from the recorded lines of code, a first line of code including a network call statement that calls a called variable, examine the recorded lines of code in a reversed chronological order to identify a second line of code that contains the called variable and another variable,
• based on the dependencies between the variables stored in the data storage, determine whether the called variable called by the network call statement is dependent on the other variable appearing in the second line of code, and
• in response to a determination that the called variable called by the network call statement is not dependent on the other variable appearing in the second line of code, eliminate the second line of code from the recorded lines of code;
• and
• cause a display of a subset of the recorded lines of code that remain after the elimination of the second line of code, wherein the subset of the recorded lines of code is used for load testing.
