Dynamically reconfiguring software microbenchmarks: reducing execution time without sacrificing result quality

Regression testing comprises techniques which are applied during software evolution to uncover faults effectively and efficiently. While regression testing is widely studied for functional tests, performance regression testing, e.g., with software ...

Software benchmarks are only as good as the performance measurements they yield. Unstable benchmarks show high variability among repeated measurements, which causes uncertainty about the actual performance and complicates reliable change ...

This paper describes an incremental conservative garbage collector that significantly reduces pause time of an existing collector by Boehm et al. Like their collector, it is a true conservative collector that does not require compiler cooperation but ...
