Description:
This book details both the basic concepts of software performance analysis and state-of-the-art methodologies. It starts from performance primers and goes through software and performance modeling notations to the latest transformation-based methodologies.
Review Quotes:
From the reviews:
"This thin book presents an introduction to the cross-knowledge needed by software developers to understand and apply current approaches for performing model-based software performance analysis. ... Software developers will benefit from the detailed descriptions of the extended modeling approaches for software performance prediction. Software researchers will benefit by recognizing the limitations of the current approaches, and by being challenged to develop more effective and usable techniques and tools for model-based performance analysis." (A. Hevner, ACM Computing Reviews, August, 2011)
