Abstract

Traditionally, the emphasis among computer scientists has been on the more rigorous and theoretical modes of worst case and average-case analysis of algorithms. However, theoretical analysis cannot tell the full story about real world performance of algorithms. This has resulted in a growing interest in experimental analysis. This paper presents the development of a solution that aides in the ex perimental analysis of Java-based implementations.
