CollapseMain Description  


When evaluating the workload analysis model, it is also a good idea to ensure that plans are in place to test the system against performance requirements, and that there are plans to validate system performance estimates using architectural prototypes, especially for performance-critical requirements.

All nominal and maximal performance requirements are specified  
Expand Performance requirements are reasonable and reflect real constraints in the problem domain  
their specification is not arbitrary.
The workload analysis model provides estimates of system performance that indicate which performance requirements, if any, are risks  
'Bottleneck objects' have been identified and strategies defined to avoid performance bottlenecks  
Expand Collaboration message counts are appropriate given the problem domain  
Collaborations appear to be well-organized and as simple as possible.
Executable start-up (initialization) is within acceptable limits as defined by the requirements
