Approaching Performance Testing from a Model-Based Testing Perspective

The paper introduces the concept of model-based performance testing, which we plan to pursue in our research. The underlying idea is to describe various performance aspects as well as functional aspects of a software system using modeling languages like UML, and from the resulting models to automatically design tests that can be used for performance testing. In our research, we also plan to focus on how the modeling and traceability of performance requirements can be achieved across the testing process.
