Method for Estimating the Number of Concurrent Users by Eric Man Wong Observability by Adrian Cockcroft Requirements-by-Example by Adriano Comai Steve Seow's Blog, the author of Designing and Engineering Time Modeling ToolsTools that could be used on early stages of computer systems design and development when no system monitoring results exist. See other Modeling Tools in Performance Management section. SPE·ED "a tool designed specifically to support the SPE methods and models defined in Connie U. Smith's book." "Using a small amount of data about envisioned software processing, SPE·ED creates and solves performance models, and presents visual results." Doesn’t have interfaces to monitoring data. CA (former HyPerformix) Performance Optimizer. Uses discrete event simulation modeling technology. System topology is descried by graphical diagrams. Software behavior is simulated by a scripting language. Has interfaces to different types of monitoring data. PerformanceIt is often difficult to separate information how to design systems with good performance (architecture, performance patterns, language structures, etc.) from information how to tune and deploy systems, quite often both sides are considered. Although more architecture- technology- and language - oriented links are placed here, a lot of related information can be found in the Tuning section.

There are some performance management tools that were developed for profiling and performance diagnostics under load. MonitoringOnly basic monitoring (using operating systems tools and utilities) are considered here. See the Application Performance Management Tools section for production level monitoring and diagnostics.
