• Automated regression management with out-of-the-box regression dashboard, auto-baselining against public benchmarks, and auto-alerting directly to developer for faster fix turnaround.
• True end-to-end transaction-pure view into application behavior and performance from browser click to database of record and back.

Over the past 18 months, dynaTrace has been innovating to improve the user experience of Web 2.0 applications. dynaTrace AJAX Edition 3 with its premium enterprise extensions enables client-side Ajax and JavaScript development teams to cope with the growing challenges of application complexity, urgency for Google-like speed, and the lack of visibility across clouds.

“We have continued to listen to our AJAX Edition and wider Ajax/JavaScript communities. They have been clamoring for Firefox support and more enterprise-class test and regression management facilities,” said Andreas Grabner, dynaTrace Lead Architect, Developer and Ajax Solutions. “Many IT executives are only now waking up to the fact that Web2.0 applications split code between the browser and the server, in effect recreating a client-server application environment. And with more and more services and frameworks coming from third parties, and the Internet and clouds between users and datacenters, assuring optimal user experience has become a significant and complex challenge. I am very proud this 3rd Edition seems to have hit the mark with developers, testers and development managers who have to insure speed, stability and scale for their most important user facing applications.”
