WorstCaseMetriken
WorstCaseMetriken is a concept in performance and reliability engineering that refers to a set of metrics designed to describe the worst-case behavior of a system. Unlike traditional average or typical-case metrics, these measures focus on the extreme limits of performance, resource use, and timing. The term is used in real-time systems, embedded engineering, and safety-critical domains to support design, certification, and risk assessment.
Content and scope: Common worst-case metrics include worst-case latency or response time, worst-case execution time (for
Methodology: WorstCaseMetriken are produced through a combination of static timing analysis, formal WCET estimation, modeling of
Applications and standards: They are central to avionics, automotive, industrial automation, and medical devices, where meeting
Limitations: Worst-case estimates can be conservative (pessimistic), may not scale well to complex systems, and depend
