Resource
A resource represents any quantifiable entity of which the availability may impact the 
performance of the software product. Resource utilization influences the performance 
assessment of the software product and typically involves a dynamic random behav-
ior. Resources can be used to understand the computing environment characteristics 
that affect execution timing, or other assets that impede data processing effectiveness. 
Resources have several characteristics that affect software performance:
●
 
Inventory capacity.
 The volumetric quantity that identifies the maximum num-
ber of units that can be present at any time.
