How easily do the generic experiments map onto environment operations?
Not easily. The problems are as follows:
• There is no notion of baseline.
• There is no notion of product release.
• There is no notion of check-in/check-out.
• The build tool is divorced from the component management system and
does not support Ada.
C.2.2. Performance Questions
Timing figures are given in seconds. Each entry represents a distinct trial. Space figures
are given in the form xxK(yy), where xx represents space in the UNIX file system and yy
represents ISTAR database records.

Elapsed time of fundamental CM operations: Create CM element.
Create Configuration Item (CI).
This is normally done within the Component Management Tool.

Create Transfer Item (XI). This can only be done by exporting from a
workbench. The following timings are from the Ada workbench.
