Abstract: “The paper discuss one of problems that appear when testing download services (web feature service, WFS) for geodata. The paper follows results of performance tests of download services of Czech Office of Surveying, Mapping and Cadaster (COSMC) according to INSPIRE requirements. Methodology of testing used for performance tests of download services of COSMC was based on expected user behavior, but generally the performance tests of geoweb services are based on randomly generated inputs. The paper compares these two approaches for download services”
