This paper illustrates SOON (SOftware performance validatiON), a tool that implements a method for the automatic derivation of a software performance model from UML-based documents. The tool also includes a model evaluation facility. SOON allows software designers to overcome the difficulties often encountered when they lack specific knowledge of performance theory, allowing one to predict at design time the performance of various product alternatives. SOON is designed and implemented by use of standards for document exchange (XMI) and for application interoperability (CORBA), so that it can be easily linked or embedded into UML-based CASE environments.}, keywords = {CASE documents, Codes (standards), Computer programming languages, Computer simulation, Computer software selection and evaluation, Embedded systems, Interoperability, Lifecycle validation, Performance tools, Software engineering, Software performance, SOftware performance validatiON (SOON)}, issn = {02286203}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-33745447390\&partnerID=40\&md5=8e384a01572372537f850b69e9e0c6d4}, author = {Andrea D{\textquoteright}Ambrogio} } @conference {Iazeolla1995221, title = {Collaborative IV\&V by SPEED a tool-kit for the performance IV\&V of critical software}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the Workshop on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises, WET ICE}, year = {1995}, note = {cited By 1}, pages = {221-230}, publisher = {IEEE, Los Alamitos, CA, United States}, organization = {IEEE, Los Alamitos, CA, United States}, abstract = {Software performance engineering is a software engineering methodology whose scope is continuing Performance IV\&V during life cycle. SPEED (Software PErformance Evaluation and MoDeling) is a tool-kit for software Performance IV\&V according to performance engineering criteria. It is in course of development at the Laboratory for Computer Science, and CERTIA Research Center, University of Rome at TorVergata. In its present version, it generates and evaluates the Master Model of the product, a performance analysis model that continuously evolves with the product design, and that includes the software workload model and the abstract machine model, or model of the executing environment. Conventional analytical and hybrid simulation techniques can then be applied to the MM to obtain performance predictions for the product under design. The paper gives a description of the SPEED philosophy and architecture, with an accompanying application example of DBMS performance design.}, keywords = {Computer simulation, Computer software, Computer software selection and evaluation, Critical software, Database systems, Performance, Software engineering, Software performance evaluation and modeling, Software workload model, Systems analysis}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-0029516723\&partnerID=40\&md5=0a21b948e2ba7b9d5bec357bc0477f93}, author = {Iazeolla, Giuseppe and Mirandola, Raffaela and Andrea D{\textquoteright}Ambrogio} }
