Abstract
This paper covers the performance parameters for an object= oriented software system: The number of classes in the class diagram of this system, the number of attributes and methods in each class, their data types, the multiplicities of single classes, the number of relationships in this diagram, the types and multiplicities of relationships, the lengths of access paths, and the allocation of methods and attributes to classes. A performance analysis is described. It treats a class diagram, which must be in attendance at each analysis because used dynamic diagrams must be consistent with it, and encloses these parameters. It is based on an approach which enables one to predict the performance values of response time, throughput and utilization, for use cases that can operate on databases related to this diagram.
