E-Selling

The benchmarks focus on typical online catalog activities as performed by regular Internet catalog users (B2C) and direct order input by professional users (B2B).
This suite replaces the online store benchmark.

User Interaction Steps of the Business-to-Consumer (B2C) Benchmark Scenario With a focus on consumer behavior, this scenario is characterized by high browsing activity and low shopping/ordering activity, as reflected by recurrent browsing in a catalog. Out of ten users, nine users execute browsing activities, while shopping (for example, adding items to the shopping basket and ordering) is executed by one user, resulting in a ratio of browsing to shopping/ordering of 9:1. In one sequence, the system thus creates one shopping cart and one order with five line items.

The scenario consists of the following user interaction steps:
