MoCheQoS: Automated Analysis of Quality of Service Properties of Communicating Systems

We present MoCheQoS, a bounded model checker to analyse (QoS) properties of message-passing systems. Building on the dynamic temporal logic, the choreographic model, and the bounded model checking algorithm defined in our ICTAC 2023 paper, MoCheQoS enables the static analysis of QoS properties of systems built out from the composition of services. We consider QoS properties on measurable application-level attributes as well as resource consumption metrics for example those relating monetary cost to memory usage. The implementation of the tool is accompanied by an experimental evaluation. More precisely, we present two case studies meant to evaluate the applicability of MoCheQoS; the first is based on the AWS cloud while the second analyses a communicating system automatically extracted from code. Additionally, we consider synthetically generated experiments to assess the scalability of MoCheQoS. These experiments showed that our model can faithfully capture and effectively analyse QoS properties in industrial-strength scenarios.
