Proactive Performance Engineering

Become proactive. Save time and money.

Studies show that up to 40% of development time is spent troubleshooting application issues in test and production, and that well over 70% of these production issues are due to applications – not network or hardware. These same studies also estimate that the majority of these application issues could have been found and fixed in development. Who has this amount of time to waste? Who wouldn’t prefer to spend more time building new application functionality and less time fixing problems and redoing work? Development Team Edition directly attacks these application challenges by bringing a repeatable system approach to application engineering.

From Reactive to Proactive – Shift the Mindset

Development Team Edition allows engineering management to confidently shift performance and scalability testing from an afterthought to a forethought. DTE provides a system approach that allows engineers to:

Analyze code for performance and scalability regressions before submitting changes to the build system
Analyze complete applications for performance and scalability after changes have been submitted to the build system. This is especially valuable for distributed applications and 3rd party built applications which cannot be tested locally.
Self-serve regarding test results for integration performance tests. Test results are presented as a dynaTrace Session File, an exact recording of all transactions with code level context.
Compare these Session Files with any other test run for immediate visibility into what is faster and slower.
Track changes against key KPIs such as memory utilization, database access and CPU consumption.
Verify actual application behavior under load against architectural models and expectations to adjust for scalability and bottlenecks earlier in the development process, when deeper changes can be more easily made.

If you’re serious about performance and scalability, then change the mindset. Don’t just “test it in,” build it in with DTE.

Continuous Feedback - Consistently Speed Time to Market

Development Team Edition allows engineering management to drive consistent performance and scalability improvement over time. By integrating DTE with your build system/integration server, engineering management can monitor KPIs over time, compare results against known good test runs, and visualize/document the behavior of their application under development. Incorporating a deep, accurate feedback loop into your development cycle early can save as much as 50% of your release cycle time.

To simplify and accelerate the development process, DTE eliminates the need for having many tools that are never integrated and seldom used. The value of DTE is greatest when its used continuously by the full engineering team. Developers can use DTE stand-alone as a super-profiler, and in conjunction with the build/integration system as a team. Developers self-serve themselves and management gets the trend reports, comparisons and visualizations they need to know development is tracking ahead of plan.

Predictably Prevent Production Issues

When it comes to application issues in production, prior proper planning prevents poor performance. Development Team Edition is a member of the dynaTrace lifecycle family of products. It's been built with both Test and Production in mind. Predictably improve production applications with DTE by:

capturing and eliminating regressions early
identifying and correcting scalability issues and performance bottlenecks early
capturing production sessions to improve continuous integration testing mocks – e.g. exceptions, problematic SQL statements, long running transactions, etc.
capturing & replaying production failure modes and assuring early testing/code comparison against known problem areas for new versions under development
