2. Abstract
In today's world, applications/systems which are not meeting the performance expectations of the customers are branded as failure even if they are rich in functionally. Conducting performance testing is an important activity through which we can determine how the application performs in terms of responsiveness and stability under a particular workload.  
There is need to come up with alternative methods to continue the testing of those applications which are currently not supported by the tools.

3. Proposed Solutions Creating Script from log files
TCP/IP level recording
