Performance analysis in software involves evaluating how well a system or application performs under specific conditions. Key aspects include:
-
Metrics: Measuring response time, throughput, resource usage (CPU, memory, etc.), and scalability.
-
Profiling: Identifying bottlenecks and inefficiencies by analyzing how resources are consumed during execution.
-
Benchmarking: Comparing performance against standards or similar systems to assess effectiveness.
-
Monitoring: Continuously observing system performance in real-time to detect issues early.
-
Optimization: Making adjustments to improve performance, such as code refactoring, caching, or load balancing.
The goal is to ensure that software meets performance requirements and provides a good user experience.
