Guidelines

With increased use of agile software development techniques and the supporting frameworks for Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD), reliably monitoring software performance in distributed software development becomes ever more important. It turns out that the established performance evaluation techniques are not yet good enough - the measurements are too tricky to implement effortlessly, too resource demanding to execute frequently, too noisy to evaluate accurately, and too terse to find causes reliably. The goal of the thesis is to address some of the challenges in evaluating performance in the context of agile software development, both on the development and the maintenance sides.
