The following conditions are required to ascertain the capacity of a Website by conducting hourly checks.
The end user's measurement environment (machine environment and network environment) on the end user side must be the same.
Measurements on the end user side must be conducted regularly.
In the previous section ("4.4.1 Basic product deployment pattern"), the Browser Agent was deployed to the actual end user. In that case, the measurement environment on the end user side is not fixed, and measurements are not taken regularly because measurements are taken only when the end user actually uses the Website's services.
Therefore, to meet the above conditions, it is recommended that the following product deployment pattern, which provides a dummy environment that repeats the operations of an end user (hereafter referred to as the "simulated end user"), be used.
Additional information about a support tool that can be used to conduct regular schedules is provided overleaf.
