Abstract
The study presented here analyzes the methods currently used to estimate costs, and how these methods map the tasks related to Performance Engineering (PE) and the costs thereof. To create transparency and acceptance of these extremely important tasks within the context of software development, an approach is pursued which derives the required costs from a corresponding risk analysis and thus examines the business process to be supported, the software development and normal operation. Initial empirical studies are presented which highlight the general trends for possible costs of specific PE methods.
