Abstract: A system and method for the real-user capable monitoring of the rendering process of dynamically updated web pages is presented. The proposed approach deploys a browser agent to content loaded and displayed by a web browser which monitors resource load activities caused by the processing of the content by the browser and in-place content modifications caused by the executions of scripts and XHR communication by the browser. Those resource load and content modification activities affecting the visible area of the browser are identified and a point in time is calculated at which the visualization of the content for the visible area is complete. Further performance monitoring data describing the performance of the rendering process depending on the percentage of finished portions of the visible area over time is calculated. In addition, data describing the rendering process in detail may be captured by the browser agent which may be used for a later playback of the rendering process.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system is provided that enables synthetic testing of web applications using monitoring agents instrumented in web content. A playback engine is configured to receive a test script for testing a given web page and initiates loading of the given web page by a web browser. A monitoring agent has a tag embedded into a document object model of the given web page and is a script defined in accordance with the scripting language. During playback of the test script by the playback agent, the monitoring agent determines a performance metric for the given web page. A wait agent has a tag embedded into the markup language of the given web page. During building of the document object model for the given web page, operates to inject the tag for the monitoring agent into the document object model for the given web page.
