Tracking down software changes responsible for performance loss
Juan Pablo Sandoval Alcocer · 2012
Continuous software change may inadvertently introduce a drop in performance at runtime. The longer the performance loss remains undiscovered, the harder it is to address. Current profilers do not efficiently support performance comparison across multiple software versions. As a consequence, identifying the cause of a slow execution caused by a software change is often carried out in an ad-hoc fashion.
