Time Behaviour evaluation of software products considering service types

The permissible range of response time needed for smooth operation of software will be depend on the service types provided. For example, lossless data streaming should have a shorter response time. Hence, the permitted limit of response time (plnt) in real-time streaming service should be much shorter than that of other software services. However, some software services are permitted a longer plnt, e.g., FTP and Web hard services are allowed a longer plnt because they need additional processing time for secure service-data transmission. Therefore, plnt varies with the service type. Therefore, this study developed a novel Time Behaviour evaluation method that considers the software service type.
