  @inproceedings{Beck2022, abstract = {Transient behavior occurs when a running software system changes from one steady-state to another. In microservice systems, such disruptions can, for example, be caused by continuous deployment, self-adaptation, and various failures. Although transient behavior could be captured in non-functional requirements, little is known of how that is handled in practice. Our objective was to study how architects and engineers approach runtime disruptions, which challenges they face, whether or not they specify transient behavior, and how currently employed tools and methods can be improved. To this end, we conducted semi-structured interviews with five experienced practitioners from major companies in Germany. We found that a big challenge in the industry is a lack of awareness of transient behavior by software stakeholders. Consequently, they often do not consider specifying it in non-functional requirements. Additionally, better tooling is needed to reduce the effort of analyzing transient behavior. We present two prototypes that we developed corresponding to these findings to improve the current situation. Beyond that, the insights we present can serve as pointers for interesting research directions for other researchers.}, address = {New York, NY, USA}, author = {Beck, Samuel and Frank, Sebastian and Hakamian, Alireza and van Hoorn, André}, booktitle = {Companion of the 2022 ACM/SPEC International Conference on Performance Engineering}, day = 14, doi = {10.1145/3491204.3527483}, isbn = {9781450391597}, location = {Bejing, China}, month = {07}, pages = {105–112}, publisher = {Association for Computing Machinery}, series = {ICPE '22}, title = {How is Transient Behavior Addressed in Practice?

  @proceedings{beck2021transvis, abstract = {In a microservice system, runtime changes such as failures, deployments, or self-adaptation can trigger the system to transition from one steady state to another, i.e., exhibiting transient behavior. To assess a system's quality, it is imperative that this transient behavior is specified in non-functional requirements and that stakeholders can analyze whether these requirements are met. Yet, there is little support for either specifying transient behavior as a non-functional requirement or analyzing how such a requirement is met in production. We aim to make these two tasks more accessible by utilizing novel human-computer interaction methods. To this end, we developed TransVis, an approach for specifying and analyzing transient behavior based on chatbot interactions and visualizations of the systems' resilience. We examined the effectiveness of our approach by conducting an exploratory expert study on a prototypical implementation. The study revealed that the developed visualizations are effective for specifying and exploring transient behavior. Participants found especially helpful the feature to compare specifications with the actual behavior. However, the integration of a chatbot did not prove effective for our use cases. In conclusion, our approach is capable of supporting stakeholders in the exploration and specification of transient behavior.}, author = {Beck, Samuel and Frank, Sebastian and Hakamian, Alireza and Merino, Leonel and van Hoorn, André}, booktitle = {2021 Working Conference on Software Visualization (VISSOFT)}, doi = {10.1109/VISSOFT52517.2021.00016}, isbn = {978-1-6654-3144-6}, pages = {65-75}, title = {TransVis: Using Visualizations and Chatbots for Supporting Transient Behavior in Microservice Systems}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1109/VISSOFT52517.2021.00016}, year = 2021 }

  @inproceedings{OkanovicBeckMerzZornMerinoVanHoornBeck2020CanAChatbotSupportSoftwareEngineersWithLoadTestingApproachAndExperiences, abstract = {Even though load testing is an established technique to assess load-related quality properties of software systems, it is applied only seldom and with questionable results. Indeed, configuring, executing, and interpreting results of a load test require high effort and expertise. Since chatbots have shown promising results for interactively supporting complex tasks in various domains (including software engineering), we hypothesize that chatbots can provide developers suitable support for load testing. In this paper, we present PerformoBot, our chatbot for configuring and running load tests. In a natural language conversation, PerformoBot guides developers through the process of properly specifying the parameters of a load test, which is then automatically executed by PerformoBot using a state-of-the-art load testing tool. After the execution, PerformoBot provides developers a report that answers the respective concern. We report on results of a user study that involved 47 participants, in which we assessed our tool's acceptance and effectiveness. We found that participants in the study, particularly those with a lower level of expertise in performance engineering, had a mostly positive view of PerformoBot.}, address = {New York, NY, USA}, author = {Okanovic, Dusan and Beck, Samuel and Merz, Lasse and Zorn, Christoph and Merino, Leonel and van Hoorn, Andre and Beck, Fabian}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the ACM/SPEC International Conference on Performance Engineering (ICPE)}, doi = {10.1145/3358960.3375792}, note = {Accepted}, pages = {120-129}, publisher = {Association for Computing Machinery}, series = {ICPE '20}, title = {Can a Chatbot Support Software Engineers with Load Testing?
