Model Driven Performance Measurement and Assessment with MoDePeMART

Software performance is one of important software Quality of Service attributes. For this reason, several approaches integrate performance prediction in Model Driven Engineering(MDE). However, MDE still lacks a systematic approach for performance measurement and metrics assessment. This paper presents MoDePeMART, an approach for Model Driven Performance Measurement and Assessment with Relational Traces. The approach suggests declarative specification of performance metrics in a domain specific language and usage of relational databases for storage and metric computation. The approach is evaluated with the implementation of a UML Profile for UML Class and State diagrams and transformations from profile to a commercial relational database management system.
