Analyzing Web Logs to Detect User-Visible Failures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Web applications suffer from poor reliability. Practitioners commonly rely on fast failure detection to recover their applications quickly to reduce the effects of the failures on other users. In this paper, we present a technique for detecting user-visible failures by analyzing Web logs. Our technique applies a first-order Markov model to infer anomalous browsing behavior discovered in Web logs as indicators that users have encountered failures. We implemented our technique in a tool called REBA (REcursive Byesian Analysis of Web Logs). We evaluated our technique using REBA applied to the Web site of NASA. The results demonstrate that our technique can detect user-visible failures with reasonable cost.

Due to increasing in cyber-attacks, the need for web servers attack detection technique has drawn attentions today. Unfortunately, many available security solutions are inefficient in identifying web-based attacks. The main aim of this study is to detect abnormal web navigations based on web usage profiles. In this paper, comparing scrolling behavior of a normal user with an attacker, and simu...
متن کاملDetecting Geographical Serving Area of Web Resources
Most human activities occur around where the user is physically located. Knowing the geographical serving area of web resources, therefore, is very important for many web applications. Here serving area stands for the geographical distribution of online users who are interested in a given web site. It can be also seen as the geographical area that this web site intends to reach. For example, th...

متن کاملUser Session-Based Test Case Generation and Optimization Using Genetic Algorithm
An approach to generating and optimizing test cases is proposed for Web application testing based on user sessions using genetic algorithm. A large volume of meaningful user sessions are obtained after purging their irrelevant information by analyzing user logs on the Web server. Most of the redundant user sessions are also removed by the reduction process. For test reuse and test concurrency, ...
