Comparing the two solutions

Now it's time to test the serial and concurrent servers and see which has a better performance. We have automatized the tests implementing four classes that make queries to the servers. These classes are:

  • SerialClient: This implements a possible client of the serial server. It makes nine requests using the query message and a query using the report message. It repeats the process 10 times, so it request 90 queries and 10 reports.
  • MultipleSerialClients: This class simulates the existence of several clients at the same time. For this, we create a thread per SerialClient and execute them at the same time to see the performance of the server. We have tested from one to five concurrent clients.
  • ConcurrentClient: It is analogue ...
