*5.1. Goal Definition*

To guarantee the mitigation of software aging emergence in the UAM-ODT platform with proper operational management and maintenance, this work presents a developed methodology for the investigation of software aging phenomenon by measuring the use of system resources and performance. We use different tools for the measurement in different experiments. The objective of this work was formally defined when using the Goal Question Metric (GQM) method [36] to verify the emergence of the effects of Software Aging as well as the performance of the Kubernetes Cluster in Minikube and K3S through the response time of the service when responding to requests.
