Abstract

The problem of interpreting the results of software performance analysis is very critical. Software developers expect feedback in terms of architectural design alternatives (e.g., re-deploy a component), whereas the results of performance analysis are pure numbers. Support to the interpretation of such results that helps to fill the gap between numbers and software alternatives is still lacking. Performance antipatterns can play a key role in the search of performance problems and in the formulation of their solutions. In this poster, we introduce a process to elaborate the analysis results and to score performance requirements, model entities and "guilty" performance antipatterns.
