dc.description.abstractIn recent years, automated regression testing with tools, like JUnit, has become a cornerstone of modern software engineering practice. Automated testing focuses on the functional aspects of software. Automated performance testing is less popular. Where used, it is based on the principle of comparing measurements against static thresholds representing parameters such as system runtime or memory usage. This thesis presents an alternative approach to automatically generate test oracles from system calibration runs. This approach is particularly useful to safeguard the investment made when software is manually fine-tuned. A proof-ofconcept tool was developed that works for all applications that can be deployed on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), and is capable of testing all properties that can be accessed through Java Management Extensions (JMX) technology.en
