Abstract

Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) was proposed with the purpose of improving software modularization by treating crosscutting concerns. Since its introduction, there is no consensus about the impact on performance of the use of AOP techniques to deal with crosscutting concerns. This article explores further the evaluation of performance by proposing a systematic literature review to find out how performance is affected by the introduction of aspects. Then, an experiment is performed to find results about the performance of AOP and weavers. This experiment showed the assessment of several versions of an application. According to this study, the difference concerning resource consumption through variation of weavers can be considered irrelevant considering web applications.
