Abstract
Multiple users are emulated in a network environment by means of a multithreaded process in a client workstation. A plurality of client threads and associated network request queues are provided. Each client thread emulates a user in the network environment. A series of network requests is to a first network request queue associated with a first client thread. A harvester thread receives network traffic from a network application such as a redirector in the client workstation. The harvester filters the network traffic to assemble network requests and corresponding network responses. Once assembled, the network requests and network responses are placed in the first network request queue. Each of the series of network requests to a server in the network environment by the first client thread. The first client thread sequentially send each of the series of network requests to a next network request queue as each of the series of network requests are sent to the server. The process continues with each of the plurality of threads sequentially sending the network requests to the server and sequentially sending the network request to the next network request queue so that a plurality of users are emulated.
