ABSTRACT:
An example of a solution provided here comprises: providing a script; employing a plurality of probes, including at least one local probe and at least one remote probe; and measuring a client-server application's performance, with said probes, according to said script. For example, the following are provided: methods for probing client-server applications in a network environment, systems for executing such methods, and instructions on a computer-usable medium, for executing such methods.
