Abstract

This paper analyzes the phenomenon of software aging – namely, the gradual performance degradation and resource exhaustion in the long run – in the Android OS. The study intends to highlight if, and to what extent, devices from different vendors, under various usage conditions and configurations, are affected by software aging and which parts of the system are the main contributors. The results demonstrate that software aging systematically determines a gradual loss of responsiveness perceived by the user, and an unjustified depletion of physical memory. The analysis reveals differences in the aging trends due to the workload factors and to the type of running applications, as well as differences due to vendors' customization. Moreover, we analyze several system-level metrics to trace back the software aging effects to their main causes. We show that bloated Java containers are a significant contributor to software aging, and that it is feasible to mitigate aging through a micro-rejuvenation solution at the container level.

Abstract

This open access book constitutes the proceedings of the 22nd International Conference on Agile Software Development, XP 2021, which was held virtually during June 14-18, 2021. XP is the premier agile software development conference combining research and practice. It is a unique forum where agile researchers, practitioners, thought leaders, coaches, and trainers get together to present and discuss their most recent innovations, research results, experiences, concerns, challenges, and trends. XP conferences provide an informal environment to learn and trigger discussions and welcome both people new to agile and seasoned agile practitioners. This year’s conference was held with the theme “Agile Turns Twenty While the World Goes Online”. The 11 full and 2 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 38 submissions. They were organized in topical sections named: agile practices; process assessment; large-scale agile; and short contributions.
