1. I am not sure, if i keep this slide along with the previous two, or just this one.2. Also, I understand, that you may not consider NEW TEST as part of signature generation, .... despite the new test needs to go through all the phases that are essential for signature generation (since we need to compare the weights of the same set of counters as present in the Baseline) . To audience signature generation of both the baseline and NEW TEST and then their comparison will get digested easily.However, I can remove the NEW TEST from the signature generation, and make it go separately through PCA and Mapping process.In case you feel, its ok to keep it this way thenFor the diagram of this slide, i can say with exception to PCA all our approaches use only baseline test to generate performance signature.3. Since data preparation step is being used by all our approaches, i have not recursively used it in the next slide. I will verbally clear it to audience

Hadi Hemmati

1- i removed old slides 18-23just come to here after saying there exists some correlation2- keep the new test since it is part of deviation detection inputs3- it is fine. i just removed the extra text from the dat prep box. it was repretitive

Hadi Hemmati

New test should go to data prep since we compare signatures generate dfrom the clean data and not the full raw datai changed it

Ahmed E. Hassan

How come? The PCA approach has the NEW TEST in there.. while the other approach do not have it?Also the Baseline Signature box should be OUT of the green area!Since that is the output of the process!--I want all three if not even all FOUR! in the same slide - showing pu together so people can see the differences!

Ahmed E. Hassan

Also ideally I want a figure the saysBaseline TEst -> Data Preperation -> Derivation -> Detection ->ResultsThen you can avoid showing the the Baseline and Data prepeartion parts of your figures in this slide which makes the slide too busy for no good reason

Hadi Hemmati

I deleted the new test as inputsignature generation does not need two inputs you give one test data(baseline or the new one) and get the signature as outputalso since it is the output of data prep I called the input as prepared Load test (whcih can be a prepared baseline or a prepared new test)

The fonts for Signature generation side and that of Deviation Detection box are kept diffrent on purpose----- to contrastit has enough of contrast (bkg color!)So I reduced stuff

An Ideal approach should predict a minimal and correct set of

performance deviations.

Real Time Analysis Stability Manual Overhead

Case Study Findings(Practical Differences)

38

Real Time Analysis

WRAPPER--- deviations on a per-observation basis.

PCA --- requires a certain amount of observations (wait time).

39

Stability

We refer to ‘Stability’ as the ability of an approach to remain effective while its signature size is reduced.

WRAPPER approach is more stable that PCA approach

44

Manual Overhead

WRAPPER approach requires all observations of the baseline performance counter data to be labeled as Pass/Fail

45

Manual Overhead

Marking each observation is time consuming

46

Limitations of Our Approaches

Hardware Difference Sensitivity

47

Hardware Differences Large systems have many testing labs to

run multiple load tests simultaneously. Labs may have different hardware.

Our approaches may interpret same test on different labs as deviated tests

Recent work by K.C.Foo et al. propose several techniques to over come this problemMining Performance Regression Testing Repositories for Automated Performance Analysis ( QSIC 2010)

haroon

I am not sure, if (ethically) i need to cite Dereks Regression paper or his thesis in the end of the slidesThe box with DEREK work is diffrent, since its not a finding or take away messege (perhaps, i should not even make it a box)Thanks.

Hadi Hemmati

yes you need a small citatinon in this page

48

Sensitivity

We can tune the sensitivity of our approaches. PCA – Analyst tunes the ‘weight’

parameter. WRAPPER – Analyst decides, in the

labelling phase, how big the deviation should be in order to be flagged.

Lowering sensitivity reduces false alarms, it may overlook some important outliers
