Quality Assurance
 Small GROUP Exercise
Performance

There are four group topics: Availability, Response time, Throughput, CPU utilization.
We will call those the ‘Performance’ attributes. You are assigned to a group. Your group will present your findings to the class on the next class day.

Part I:
Identify an application, or needed system, where YOUR TOPIC is more important than the other three group topics, in your opinion.  Be prepared to explain why. Be sure all members of your group know the answer(s).

Part II:
Identify at least three approaches you recommend using to make sure your system is as good at (Availability, Response time, Throughput, CPU utilization) as possible. Be sure all members of your group understand the approaches.  How would you check the quality of a system for your topic?

Part III:
What affect do your approaches have on your application with respect to the OTHER ‘performance’ attributes?  Is your application better or worse in each of the other areas because of your recommended approaches? Why or why not?
You have one day to work in your group, and then we will have one day for class discussion.
If you are 'off line', you will STILL be assigned one of the groups. Your report may be made available to the class for comments.
