Many large-scale software systems must service thousands or millions of concurrent
requests. These systems must be load tested to ensure that they can function correctly under …

Performance is a pervasive quality of software systems; everything affects it, from the
software itself to all underlying layers, such as operating system, middleware, hardware …

By accurately measuring risk for enterprise networks, attack graphs allow network defenders
to understand the most critical threats and select the most effective countermeasures. This …

How can we quickly find the number of triangles in a large graph, without actually counting
them? Triangles are important for real world social networks, lying at the heart of the …

The specification of workloads is required in order to evaluate performance characteristics of
application systems using load testing and model-based performance prediction. Defining …

The usage of open source (OS) software is wide-spread across many industries. While the
functional quality of OS projects is considered to be similar to closed-source software, much …

The term scalability appears frequently in computing literature, but it is a term that is poorly
defined and poorly understood. The lack of a clear, consistent and systematic treatment of …

Writing concurrent programs is a challenge because developers must consider both
functional correctness and performance requirements. Numerous program analyses and …

The purpose of this paper is to analyze in general the process of testing, developing video
games, and describe in more detail all the aspects of the test phases in a game …

Developing concurrent software that is both correct and efficient is challenging. Past
research has proposed various techniques that support developers in finding …
