Suneeta H. Angadi, Narasimha H Ayachit, Patil, Prakash R · 2009
Software Performance Engineering (SPE) is a systematic and quantitative approach to constructing software systems that meet performance objectives. Performance is an important quality attribute of software. Most systems fail to meet performance objectives when they are initially constructed. Performance failures result in cost overruns due to tuning or redesign, damaged customer relations. Most performance failures are due to lack of performance consideration early in the development process. Response time estimation is basic factor to validate performance objective. This paper describes steps required for estimating response time of an application. A simple case study illustrates the process through Hospital Information Management System.
