ab: Summary: The present paper investigates the influence of the execution
    history on the precision of measurement-based execution time estimates
    for embedded software. A new approach to timing analysis is presented
    which was designed to overcome the problems of existing static and
    dynamic methods. By partitioning the analyzed programs into easily
    traceable segments and by precisely controlling run-time measurements
    with on-chip tracing facilities, the new method is able to preserve
    information about the execution context of measured execution times.
    After an adequate number of measurements have been taken, this
    information can be used to precisely estimate the Worst-Case Execution
    Time of a program without being overly pessimistic.
