The Performance Analysis on a Software Evolution Process Model under the Circumstances of Cloud Computing

Abstract:

While cloud computing related technologies are gaining increasing amount of popularities nowadays, we are focusing our resent research on the aspects of software evolution processes under the environments of cloud computing. During our pervious research, we have proposed SEPUCCC, a software evolution process prototype under the circumstancees of cloud computing. In this article, we are going to have a further disscussion on SEPUCCC by giving it’s in-depth performance analysis, by which the model’s abilities, the abilities to supporting the evolution process under the circumstances of cloud computing as well as reducing the cost of process improvemnet, was demomstrated.
