Inhalt:
Code instrumentation is essential for quality assurance during application development as well as for production system monitoring. Especially for critical applications, capabilities for a detailed analysis of internal processing are of high importance. This paper discusses performance instrumentation and results for PHOENIX, the distributed radar tracking system developed by the DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung (German Air Navigation Services). Part of the instrumentation approach is eMIVA4, a set of IDE-based tools for semi-automatic source-code instrumentation that improve efficiency and consistency of the instrumentation process, and especially support developers without further knowledge of instrumentation technologies.
