Performance analysis of software systems

Abstract

Recent research in the field of software engineering has focused newlinemuch attention on developing the software systems with emphasis on newlineperformance Software performance engineering SPE has been recognized newlineas discipline with engineering activities practiced throughout the software newlinedevelopment to meet performance requirements SPE comprises of metrics newlinemodeling process and approaches for performance evaluation Performance newlineanalysis has to be an integral part of the software development to ensure newlinesoftware with quality attribute There is an ever growing interest in the early newlineevaluation of performance with the help of modeling. Non compliance with newlineperformance might lead to negative consequences like damaged customer newlinerelations loss of income and business failure Currently there is inclination newlinetowards performance modeling in software development that considers newlineperformance from early stages The approach of performance modeling is newlineadvantageous compared to reactive approach as the later over runs the newlineestimated cost if the system developed fails The emerging trend in this newlinedomain is a move towards automatic performance optimization of newlinearchitecture design and run-time configurations. Performance analysis is an newlineessential process of SPE and has been focused in this research in the form of newlinemeasurement and analysis newline newline
