Abstract

The performance of an information system in the sense of its efficiency in relation to time and resources is largely determined by the design selected within software development. For an engineering procedure in the implementation of this quality feature, Performance Engineering, or PE for short, has emerged as a collection of the processes needed for this plus the appropriate methods and tools. The core concept of PE is to take account of the performance of a software system right from the early phases of development. Often, however, these measures are not performed explicitly during the development of the software, with reasons given such as deadline pressure, the extreme complexity of the information system or lack of knowledge of what Performance Engineering means. The present research gives an overview of the capabilities of UML-based PE. Corresponding approaches are analyzed and the advantages of the tools available are examined.
