Method to display transaction performance data in real-time handling context

A system and method for providing a performance-based choreographer-architecture style visualization of an application program, in which an original electronic workflow representation of the application is modifying to incorporate certain run-time performance indicators as collected from a performance monitoring system. This provides a diagram, typically only available during the design phase, annotated with performance data typically only available in diagrams with other perspectives than the design perspective. The invention is especially useful for annotation workflow diagrams produced by choreographer architecture design systems.
