The knowledge and application of tools to automate performance testing and monitoring is essential to ensure software reliability and therefore its quality. To investigate, identify and characterize existing performance testing tools reported in the literature, a protocol was formulated and executed according to the guidelines for performing systematic mapping in Software Engineering. The performance testing and monitoring tools were classified according to their relevance in the literature, highlighting the most commonly used tools, their supported input approaches, workload approaches, monitored metrics and logging strategies. From the analysis of these results a taxonomy on performance monitoring tools was proposed. With the results of this study, it was possible to quantify and qualify research related to existing performance testing tools in the literature, and also to characterize these tools. This study also proposes a Performance Monitoring tool called PerfMoon, which is a versatile and light-weight, also collects hundreds of thousands of metrics per second and delivers this information as time-series in near real-time. Data is collected using methods which collect and periodically send their metrics data to another analysis tool. Designed as a component that is integrated into a larger system, PerfMoon is light-weight, with little impact on the system resources and it is easy to install and to configure. This study also contemplates an experimental benchmark where the developed tool has its results compared with another tool.
