The usefulness of axiomatic reasoning for ensuring clear and testable improvements is discussed. It is noted that the majority of software performance improvements involve speed of response. Various examples of how a solution which seems to work well in theory can actually fail in practice are provided. Replacing simple averages with distribution percentages is recommended as a means of identifying problems more accurately. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2010 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
