Keywords: | performance engineering waterfall model agile methods transition to scrum |
Abstract (eng): | Performance engineering is effective way to ensure customer expectations related to performarice. Agile methodologies are considered efficient in most software development, and more and more organizations start to adopt agile methods nowadays, -however performance engineering often neglected especially at the beginning of projects. It leads many projects end with substantial discrepancies from their performance expectations. This phenomenon exits not only in classical waterfall-based projects but also in agile teams. This thesis provides a performance-engineering process for projects in the transition period to Scrum. Based on the literate review the work begins with a study of performance-engineering activities and an analysis of existing performance-engineering process in Scrum. Through a case study the thesis continues with summaries of benefits and challenges for a project during the transition period from waterfall model to agile methodologies. The aim is to answer why organizations choose transit to agile development. This thesis ends with a performance-engineering process that is proposed by using design science as the research method to answer how performance engineering works in the transition period. The new performance-engineering process is created through the analysis of some ongoing projects in the case company and revised based on senior performance test specialists and project managers' reviews and group discussions. The professionals of the case company evaluated the new performance-engineering process to be feasible with some limitations. Thus further research on component-level performance testing and performance-engineering tools is needed in order to relieve the limitations. |
