Software Performance Engineering (SPE) is a systematic, quantitative  approach to the cost-effective     development of software systems to meet performance requirements.  SPE, a software-oriented approach,     focuses on architecture, design, and implementation choices.
SPE gives you the information you need to build software that meets performance requirements on time and within budget.
