The goal of this thesis is to analyse a common XForms framework (Chiba) with the focus on profiling for performance inadequacies and to fix them if possible. A prototype of a largely automated performance measurement setup to underpin the analysis and the verification of enhancements has been designed and implemented.
The thesis starts with a theoretical part to specify terms & methodologies. Before the paper comes to its practical part the analysed project is introduced. Afterwards a practical performance analysis from the first steps to the narrow of the analysed project is exemplarily described.
In detail, chapter 1 Performance & Profiling elaborates how to quantify and profile performance in theory. Chapter 2 Methods introduces various methods to analyse performance. XForms and the analysed product Chiba are presented in chapter 3 XForms / Chiba Fundamentals. The implemented performance analysis is described in chapter 4 Performance Analysis Iteration and chapter 5 Tuning XForms Actions.
The Performance Analysis Iteration focuses on the design and implementation of tests to analyse and validate potential performance shortages, while Tuning XForms Actions illustrates how profiling techniques can be utilised not only to analyse but also to enhance a validated shortage. Finally - in chapter 6 Closing - the results of the analysis and the enhancements are reconsidered.

Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)
Chapter 1, "Performance & Profiling", provides a theoretical background on how to quantify and profile software performance. Chapter 2, "Methods", introduces various methods used to analyze performance, including modeling, measurement, testing, benchmarking, monitoring, exhaustive analysis, hotspot analysis, domain exploration, verification, validation, and tuning approaches. Chapter 3, "XForms / Chiba Fundamentals", introduces the XForms standard and the Chiba framework, which is the subject of the performance analysis. Chapter 4, "Performance Analysis Iteration", details the implementation of the performance analysis, including the design and implementation of tests to analyze and validate potential performance bottlenecks. Chapter 5, "Tuning XForms Actions", showcases how profiling techniques can be used not only to analyze but also to improve identified performance issues. The chapter concludes with a demonstration of how the tuning process can be validated and proven to be effective.
