Abstract

The success of an e-commerce site highly depends on its performance characteristics. These, are very difficult to asses for the given software and hardware characteristics of the specific system. The TPC-W is a benchmark aimed at evaluating e-commerce sites. This paper presents an implementation of this benchmark and the experimentation process that has been carried out in order to evaluate it. A full factorial experimental design has been used with the factors, number of emulated browsers, their profile and the number of processors in the server machine. The analysis of the results is done in terms of the TPC-W main metric, Web Interaction Per Second (WIPS) and it shows the effect of the variation of the factors above mentioned on the TPC-W throughput.

Keywords:TPC-W, Benchmarking, E-commerce, Computer Evaluation
