A method and system for evaluating performance of software applications. Steps in a first software application within a first web site are mapped to respective similar-function steps in a second software application within a second web site. Measures of performance of: each mapped step in the first software application, the respective similar-function steps in the second software application, and other steps in the second application are determined. A measure of performance of the first software application is determined, based on the measures of performance of each mapped step in the first software application. A measure of performance of the second software application is determined, based on the measures of performance of the respective similar-function steps and the other steps in the second software application. Improved performance is obtained for the and/or first software application by utilizing the measure of performance of the first and/or second software application, respectively.

Evaluation of performance of software applications

A method and system for evaluating performance of software applications of different web sites. Steps in a first software application of a first web site are mapped to respective similar-function steps in a second software application of a second web site. The mapping for each step in the first software application includes associating both each step in the first software application and the respective similar-function step in the second software with a respective task. Measures of performance of each mapped step in the first software application and measures of performance of the respective similar-function steps and of other steps in the second software application are determined and included in a report. A measure of performance of the first software application and a measure of performance of the second software application are included in the report.
