Identifying Bottlenecks in a Visualization Platform for Tracing Adaptation Decisions

Abstract

Measuring the performance of different operations as part of a software system can help to identify performance bottlenecks. This information can be used to improve the performance of the monitored system. In previous work, we proposed a visualization platform for observing and understanding adaptation decisions in self-adaptive systems. In this paper, we apply Kieker as a monitoring solution to measure the runtime of different operations based on the granularity of methods and tasks. As a result, we identified possibilities for improvements in our implementation.
