Download or read book Deriving Goal-oriented Performance Models by Systematic Experimentation written by Westermann, Dennis and published by KIT Scientific Publishing. This book was released on 2014-04-10 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performance modelling can require substantial effort when creating and maintaining performance models for software systems that are based on existing software. Therefore, this thesis addresses the challenge of performance prediction in such scenarios. It proposes a novel goal-oriented method for experimental, measurement-based performance modelling. We validated the approach in a number of case studies including standard industry benchmarks as well as a real development scenario at SAP.
