What must be chosen collected and analyzed to clearly quantify software performance and its impact on system performance?

To clearly quantify software performance and its impact on system performance, one must choose relevant performance metrics such as response time, throughput, and resource utilization (CPU, memory, and I/O). Data should be collected through monitoring tools and profiling techniques during various load conditions. This data can then be analyzed using statistical methods to identify trends, bottlenecks, and correlations between software performance and overall system behavior. Additionally, conducting stress tests and benchmarking can provide further insights into performance under different scenariOS.
