Download or read book Automated Experiments for Deriving Performance-relevant Properties of Software Execution Environments written by Hauck, Michael and published by KIT Scientific Publishing. This book was released on 2014-02-11 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The software execution environment can play a crucial role when analyzing the performance of a software system. In this book, a novel approach for the automated detection of performance-relevant properties of the execution environment is presented. The properties are detected using predefined experiments and integrated into performance prediction tools. The approach is applied to experiments for detecting different CPU, OS, and virtualization properties, and validated in different case studies.
