N2 - Performance evaluation with regard to response time of software applications is a crucial task. In particular, this is essential for Enterprise Applications with high demand for time-sensitive transactional operations. Although the effects of neglecting performance considerations within the software development life cycle are known, the development process has not significantly changed over the last years. However, companies' interest in software performance is increasing. This paper identifies the barriers regarding performance improvement of software applications during early stages of the development process by focusing on SAP Enterprise Applications. In order to capture recent situations within the industry, we conducted expert interviews with both experienced SAP software developers and product managers working in different industry sectors in Germany. Our key findings show a range of different reasons for poor or missing performance improvement considerations.
