A Performance Analysis of Hyperledger Fabric: A Perspective of the ISO/IEC 25010 Product Quality Model.

The emergence of blockchain technology, initially just a cryptocurrency with Bitcoin, brought with it a range of solution development possibilities in the most diverse sectors of society. The characteristics of blockchain raise interest in the corporate environment, which even provide complete development environments such as Hyperledger Fabric. Developing systems with blockchain is similar in many ways to developing traditional software. ISO/IEC 25010 brings models that allow measuring the quality of the software. In this work, quality measurement metrics are defined for a blockchain implemented on Hyperledger Fabric. For this, the Hyperledger Caliper was used to observe the metrics from the perspective of ISO/IEC 25010. Through the experiments it was possible to observe, based on the increase in throughput, that the number of transactions directly impacts the performance of the network, and that when analyzing the average latency and CPU utilization, the implemented network presented scalability.
