Enhance Testing and Analysis with dynaTrace

dynaTrace Diagnostics is the only software solution for white-box performance testing and analysis of Java/.NET applications under load enabling you to:

• Automate Triage to Expedite Resolution and Increase Test Throughput
• Increase Value by Generating More Meaningful Results
• Prevent Performance Regressions on Component-level

Automate Triage to Expedite Resolution and Increase Test Throughput

dynaTrace automating problem triage

dynaTrace Diagnostics’ customizable dashboards allow you to automate the triage of performance problems, enabling you to quickly find out who is responsible for fixing an issue – be it a developer responsible for a component or a system architect responsible for application server configuration.

As PurePath Technology makes the inner workings of applications transparent, you can now accelerating final resolution by guiding developers during problem diagnosis. Avoiding the usual lengthy ping-pong between developers trying to apply a fix to a problem – in which true root cause is at best an educated guess – and the necessary test reruns to confirm problem resolution, dynaTrace Diagnostics also increases your test throughput.

Increase Value by Generating More Meaningful Results

To quickly resolve application problems, development usually requires much more than simply black-box test results. This is especially true when testers discover a performance problem in an environment developers cannot easily reproduce in their local environment.

dynaTrace providing code-level performance test results

dynaTrace Diagnostics resolves this issue as it enlightens the application black-box through its PurePath Technology, enabling testers to automatically gather all the information developers require. Equipped with the PurePath of a transaction uncovering a performance problem or an application failure that occurred in a load test, developers now are able to entirely reconstruct the issue for detailed analysis in their local development environment.

This not only increases the value testers can provide to development, but also enables developers to rapidly resolve performance issues.

Prevent Performance Regressions on Component-level

dynaTrace identifying performance regressions

Even small updates or tuning actions may have significant effects on application performance. To keep costs of performance regression issues low it is imperative to detect them as they are introduced into integration and system testing phases.

dynaTrace Diagnostics integrates with automated load testing tools such as Borland SilkPerformer, HP LoadRunner or Microsoft Visual Studio Team Edition for Testers to automate performance regression testing in integration test and staging environments. Turning applications into white boxes – by visualizing their inner workings while under stress - dynaTrace Diagnostics lets you easily compare and analyze current application performance with older versions or configurations down to component level.

This way, dynaTrace Diagnostics enables you to find even small performance regression issues hidden in inner application components and introduced by code or configuration updates before they surface when the application is under full production load.
