This paper is published in the Symposium on Software Performance 2016. It is a short paper on the topic of my master’s thesis. Abstract Performance is an important concern when designing and implementing software-intensive systems. Various techniques are available for specifying and evaluating performance concerns throughout the system life-cycle. However, there is a gap in terms of tooling when moving between requirements, design, and implementation artifacts. We address this gap by integrating simulation-based and analytical performance prediction tools into IETS3 - an integrated specifi cation environment for technical software systems based on the JetBrains MPS language workbench.
