Divide and Measure : CFG Segmentation for the Measurement-Based Analysis of Resource Consumption

Abstract

A computer system is a good computer system if it correctly performs the task it was intended to perform. This is not even half of the truth: Non-functional requirements are abundant in the world of software and system engineering, even if they are not always stated explicitly. In our work we are concerned with the measurement-based analysis of resource consumption. Examples of resources are time, energy, or memory space. In the context of our measurement-based approach for software analysis, we face the problem of breaking the software under examination into smaller parts of managable size, a process dubbed CFG Segmentation.
