CSE 7314 (Spring, 2002): Homework #4

Prof. Jeff Tian (tian@engr.smu.edu)

Assignment

Discuss the potential benefit of developing an operational profile (OP) for a software project your are working (or have worked) on. In particular, also discuss the choice of Musa vs Markov OPs, and the ways to obtain the necessary information for the construction of your OP(s).

Try to be as specific as possible. For example, some functions and their usage frequencies, connections among them, etc., should be included to illustrate what you would do for OP development.

You are not required to gather actual data and build complete OPs. However, if you have such results, I'm more than happy to read them. Otherwise, some hypothetical data can be used to illustrate your OP construction.

You discussion/essay should be appropriate in length for the material included (typically between 1 and 3 pages).

This assignment is required for all students.
