System for intelligent unit performance testing of computer applications

Abstract:

A system provides intelligent unit performance testing of computer applications. In particular, the system may provide an intelligent unit performance testing engine which may allow application developers to perform critical testing of the application during the software development life cycle for performance driven development. The engine may be invoked as either an offline or online process which may analyze applications based on certain performance testing parameters as specified by the developer. In this regard, the system may be configured to read performance testing-specific tags added by the developer to the source code of the application in development. Upon executing the performance testing, the output of the performance testing may be provided to the developer and/or other involved users within the application development process. In this way, the system may provide an effective way for a developer to conduct performance testing at earlier stages of the software development life cycle.
