Abstract:An application's performance regressions can be detected by both application or microbenchmarks. While application benchmarks stress the system under test by sending synthetic but realistic requests which, e.g., simulate real user traffic, microbenchmarks evaluate the performance on a subroutine level by calling the function under test repeatedly.In this paper, we use a testbed microservice application which includes three performance issues to study the detection capabilities of both approaches.
