SONATA Profiler

son-profile: Automated performance profiling of network services

The basic idea of son-profile is to deploy network services on SONATA’s emulation platform and do some load testing under different resource constraints. During these tests a variety of metrics can be monitored which allows service developers to find bugs, investigate problems or detect bottlenecks in their services. The main purpose of son-profile is to automate big parts of this workflow to support network service developers as much as possible.
