PerformanceAspekte

PerformanceAspekte is a term used in German-speaking information technology and systems engineering to describe the set of considerations that determine how a system performs under load. It refers to the various dimensions of performance, including technical metrics, user experience, and business impact.

Technical performance aspects include latency, response time, throughput, concurrency, CPU and memory usage, network utilization, scalability, reliability, availability, and energy efficiency. Business-oriented aspects may include time-to-market, total cost of ownership, maintenance effort, and customer satisfaction. Together they form non-functional requirements that complement functional ones.

In practice, identifying PerformanceAspekte occurs during requirements elicitation, architectural design, and testing. Methods such as performance modeling, benchmarking, load testing, profiling, and capacity planning help predict and verify performance goals. Trade-offs between performance and other quality attributes (security, usability, maintainability) are commonly analyzed.

Applications span software applications, cloud services, embedded systems, and data-processing pipelines. Stakeholders include developers, system architects, testers, operations teams, and product managers, who collaborate to set targets, measure results, and optimize resources.
