Performance Validation on Multicore Mobile Devices

The validation of modern software systems on mobile devices needs to incorporate both functional and non-functional requirements. While some progress has been made in validating performance (including power consumption) on current mobile devices, future mobile devices will incorporate multiple processing units, more complex software and hardware that will raise additional challenges. This paper outlines ideas for future directions in performance validation on multicore devices, based on the current work in model-based validation, application state monitoring and performance
