Performance regressions, such as a higher CPU utilization than in the previous version of an application, are caused by software application updates that negatively affect the performance of an application. Although a plethora of mining software repository research has been done to detect such regressions, research tools are generally not readily available to practitioners. Application Performance Management (APM) tools are commonly used in practice for detecting performance issues in the field by mining operational data.
