Performance Engineering Laboratory 2 www.perfenglab.com Detecting Performance Design and Deployment AntiPatterns in Enterprise Systems Trevor Parsons [email protected] Performance Issues in Enterprise Systems Enterprise Frameworks provide services to help developers meet performance goals, however… Often poor performance is caused by poor design, not poor code Example:High inter-component communication -> poor performance Complex distributed enterprise systems are not properly understood Performance not guaranteed Performance issues may still arise Applications tend to be large Complex execution envronment (e.g. application servers) Peformance implications of design decisions may be unknown Parts of application outsourced Commmercial Off the Shelf (COTS) Components Time to market constraints Performance is often a major issue for enterprise systems Performance Engineering Laboratory Performance Engineering Laboratory 3 www.perfenglab.com Detecting Performance Design and Deployment AntiPatterns in Enterprise Systems Trevor Parsons [email protected] Limitations of current tools Generate massive amounts of data Multi User Systems (1000’s of users) May overwhelm developers trying to locate bottlenecks e.g. Profilers Give no reason for, or solution to, performance issues Do not detect potential bottlenecks Performance Engineering Laboratory May occur if system properties changes e.g. increase in workload Performance Engineering Laboratory 4 www.perfenglab.com Detecting Performance Design and Deployment AntiPatterns in Enterprise Systems Trevor Parsons [email protected] Performance Design and Deployment Antipatterns Performance Engineering Laboratory Design patterns – document recurring solutions to standard software developent problems Antipatterns – document common mistakes made during software development Suggest solutions/refactorings Performance patterns/antipatterns solely focus on performance concerns Performance antipattern discovery helps developers to locate and treat performance issues within the system Helps developers form a sense of performance intuition Performance Engineering Laboratory 5 www.perfenglab.com Detecting Performance AntiPatterns in CBS Design and Deployment AntiPatterns in Enterprise Systems Trevor TrevorParsons Parsons [email protected] [email protected] Antipattern Hierarchy Antipatterns …..

Diagrams are created at different levels of abstraction (following the MDA paradigm).

Examples/Test Results included in antipattern description previous tools analyse performance programming errors rather than design errors allows developers to assess their design (Is my design optimal???) New detection approach uses runtime (dynamic) analysis – – Traditional design recovery/reverse engineering techniques use static analysis source code often unavailable • • – Fits well with modern software development processes • – Performance Engineering Laboratory COTS components Outsourcing Require a running implementation of the system at each iteration of the development process (e.g. XP) Need run-time performance data to reason about performance (performance antipatterns have dynamic properties) Performance Engineering Laboratory Performance 18 www.perfenglab.com Engineering Laboratory Detecting Performance AntiPatterns in CBS Design and Deployment AntiPatterns in Enterprise Systems Trevor TrevorParsons Parsons [email protected] [email protected] Sample Rules and Facts Antipattern: Stateless Sessions-a-plenty If A is a Session Bean & If A has no transactional methods & If A has small (e.g. <3) no of methods & If A does not require security settings & If A does not have a relationship with any entities or DB (Facts) Data Required: • Component Types • Components Methods • Transactions • Security Settings • Component Relationships (from call paths) Performance Engineering Laboratory Performance Engineering Laboratory Performance 19 www.perfenglab.com Engineering Laboratory Detecting Performance AntiPatterns in CBS Design and Deployment AntiPatterns in Enterprise Systems Trevor TrevorParsons Parsons [email protected] [email protected] Sample Rules and Facts Example Association Rule: (Do not confuse the Association Rule with the RULES in the Rule Engine) employee.getName= > employee.getAddress , employee.getAge , employee.getID Confidence 90% Support 20% Antipattern: Fine Grained Remote Calls This antipattern describes a situation where fine grained remote calls are being used. Often Fine grained calls can be eradicated using a session façade. Rule which describes Antipattern (loaded into Rule Engine): If A is an association rule – & If A has two or more calls – & If A has more than X% confidence – & If A’s method calls belong to remote components RULE ENGINE FIRES =>fine grained remote calls Antipattern Detected !!!!!!!! (Facts) Data Required: • Association Rules (from call paths) • Component Types • Component Methods Performance Engineering Laboratory Performance Engineering Laboratory Performance 20 www.perfenglab.com Engineering Laboratory
