This paper describes a methodology designed to aid the development manager in obtaining software that is consistent with a shared resource environment and interactive response times. The need for such a method and the characteristics required of it are established initially. Performance projection and monitoring tools are briefly surveyed to establish the rationale for the selection of those included in the method. The combination of these tools to form the overall performance evaluation method and the application of the method to the full cycle of software procurement are discussed. Its application to a large, transaction-oriented system is described in terms of: design evaluation, acceptance testing, system tuning, and method validation. Conclusions relate to technical and economical feasibility.
