    Commit-Based Continuous Integration of Performance Models
    (Softwaretechnik-Trends Band 43, Heft 2, 2023) Armbruster, Martin
    Architecture-level performance models (aPM) such as the Palladio Component Model (PCM) can be used for, e.g., performance predictions to explore design alternatives and combines the aspects of architecture and performance models. An up-to-date architecture model can support the software maintenance by reducing the architectural degradation or guide the software evolution. At the same time, performance models allow the investigation of the software performance without the need to implement or change the system. However, keeping them up-to-date requires manual effort which hinders their adoption. Especially in the agile software development which is characterized by incremental and iterative development cycles, no or short design phases prevent manual modeling activities. This master thesis presents an approach building upon the previous work with these two main goals: (1) closing the gaps by completing the pipeline for the aPM extraction and instrumentation, and (2) evaluating the pipeline with a real Git history. As a result, in the approach, the Java source code in the state of a new commit is parsed into a code model. By a state-based comparison with the code model of the previous commit, a delta-based change sequence is obtained which describes how the code model of the previous commit can be transformed into a code model conforming to the state of the new commit. Afterwards, the changes are utilized to incrementally update the PCM, i.e., only the PCM elements affected by the source code changes are updated while the other PCM elements remain unchanged.

    Recovering Missing Dependencies in Java Models
    (Softwaretechnik-Trends Band 43, Heft 4, 2023) Armbruster, Martin; Mazkatli, Manar; Koziolek, Anne
    Different approaches use models of source code to extract performance models from the code which allow performance predictions and the exploration of design alternatives. The extended Java Model Parser and Printer provides a modeling environment for Java code. It defines a metamodel and contains a parser and printer including three variants to resolve references between different Java models. These variants assume that the complete code with all dependencies is available or missing elements are not accessed. In this paper, a trivial recovery strategy is introduced. It is able to recover references which cannot be resolved. Additionally, the performance and model storage of the reference resolution’s variants are compared with and without the trivial recovery. The results indicate that the trivial recovery reduces the execution time and required space for storing the models. In the future, further recovery strategies can be implemented to allow a balance between performance and model accuracy.

    Towards Continuous Integration of Performance Models for Lua-Based Sensor Applications
    (Softwaretechnik-Trends Band 43, Heft 4, 2023) Mazkatli, Manar; Armbruster, Martin; Koziolek, Anne
    Architecture-level performance models (aPMs) provide valuable insights for design decisions with performance predictions. Due to source code changes and system adaptations, it remains challenging to keep aPMs up-to-date and ensure their consistency during agile software development. The Continuous Integration of Performance Models (CIPM) approach focuses on maintaining the consistency between aPMs and software artifacts. After each significant change during the software development and operation, CIPM automatically updates aPMs. However, the current implementation of CIPM is limited to Java- and microservice-based applications. In this paper, we evaluate whether conceptual changes are required if CIPM is applied to the Lua programming language and industrial sensor applications. Our evaluation is based on a real Lua-based sensor application from the SICK AppSpace ecosys tem and an artificial one. The findings demonstrate the feasibility of CIPM as no significant conceptual changes were required, but rather technical ones.
