1. A system for simulating activity on a multi-tiered computer network, comprising:
- a processor;
a storage device; and
software means operative on said processor for identifying parameters and for capturing interface level information and kernel level information associated with said interface level information in said storage device, and for creating a virtual script from said captured interface level information and said kernel level information to produce virtual kernel level information for middleware wherein said virtual kernel level information comprises parameters and associated values indicative of user activity on the multi-tiered computer network wherein the multi-tiered computer network comprises a plurality of servers.

Abstract
The system for simulating user activity on a multi-tier computer network includes an event capture database for capturing interface level information and kernel level information associated with the interface level information. A virtual script editor module creates a virtual script from the captured interface level information and captured kernel level information to simulate user activity on the network. A virtual script playback module is responsive to the virtual script to produce virtual kernel level information indicative of network and server activity associated with a virtual user.

9. A computer-usable storage medium having a computer program embodied therein for causing a computing system having database middleware and application middleware to simulate user activity on a multi-tiered computer network by performing the following steps when the computer program is executed on the computing system:
-
supplying virtual database kernel level information to the database middleware to simulate user database activity on the multi-tiered computer network wherein the multi-tiered computer network comprises a plurality of servers;
storing stream of consciousness information in an event capture database wherein said stream of consciousness information indicates events generated directly or indirectly from user activity; and
supplying virtual application kernel level information to the application middleware to simulate user application activity on the multi-tiered computer network. - View Dependent Claims (10)
