2 Performance
2.2 The objective of the performance measurements
The overall objective of performance measurements in the computer science is to provide information on a system to collect betrachtetes with which it is possible to express an opinion on the performance of this system.
The IEEE standard defines performance tests as follows:
"Performance Testing: Testing conducted to evaluate the compliance of a system or component with specific performance requirements." [5][6]
These statements may be taken in various fields can be used:
In the software development results from performance tests for a number of decisions. The selection of system architectures for software projects are supported by performance analysis. Various implementations by performance measurements can be tested to determine what the system implementation behavior. It is through the implementation of current performance testing an early identification of performance bottlenecks in projects possible and thereby avoid high costs for a fix in later stages of development while the data as proof of compliance is not functional dependencies.
But also on the free market operates one of the statements on the performance of systems or software. They allow the comparison of similar or even very different systems. But it is crucial to the statements as accurately as possible to formulate and it is important to note that many parameters in the performance of systems analysis flow of liquid.
In the field of research and development of performance measurements using new techniques developed or increase their performance.
