On the Integration of UML and Petri Nets in Software Development

Abstract. Software performance engineering deals with the consideration of quantitative analysis of the behaviour of software systems from the early development phases in the life cycle. This paper summarizes in a semiformal and illustrative way our proposal for a suitable software performance engineering process. We try to integrate in a very pragmatic approach the usual object oriented methodology --supported with UML language and widespread CASE tools-- with a performance modelling formalism, namely stochastic Petri nets. A simple case study is used to describe the whole process. More technical details should be looked up in the cited bibliography.
