Compuware APM Web Load Testing Features and Benefits

CUSTOMER VALUE

CAPABILITIES

Ensure scalability of your web applications and determine end-user performance satisfaction.

  • Generate high volume load from multiple public cloud locations for the most realistic test of application scalability in real-world environments.
  • Find and resolve performance problems and geographical discrepancies that are undetectable with “behind the firewall” or “cloud/data center-only” solutions.

Uses the largest and most realistic load testing network.

  • Harnesses high-volume load generation from the cloud.
  • Provides end-user perspective from the global last mile.

Resolve issues fast.

  • Isolate root cause of problems easily by drilling down directly from load reports to line of code.
  • Eliminate the need to reproduce problems manually.
  • Provide a framework for collaboration that cuts the time to problem resolution and eliminates friction between development operations, production and QA.
  • A free viewer allows collaboration with third parties, with no need for software license.

Employs dynaTrace PurePath Technology.

  • Trace each transaction during a load test and correlate all diagnostic information into load test reports.
  • Exportable dynaTrace session recordings include the full execution path of each transaction and the necessary contextual information developers need to solve problems.
  • Provides full insight into third-party code, without source code.

Accurate insight into end-user experience.

  • Choice of real browsers allows you to find performance issues from the true end-user perspective and issues that may arise from different browsers.
  • Rapidly construct complex scripts to emulate the full range of end-user activities. Easily used even by non-technical staff.

Real browser-based script recording and testing provides:

  • recorder for scripts that uses Internet Explorer, Firefox or mobile device
  • real browser agents for Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Validate your architecture.

  • Advanced visualizations help to spot anomalies and bottlenecks faster.
  • Runtime view into the inner workings of the application.

Automated architecture topology maps provide:

  • topology map of all architectural tiers mapped by transaction.

Accelerate problem isolation and detect negative performance trends by automatically analyzing and comparing performance details between each load test, transaction or build.

  • Hotspot view shows worst performers at a glance; no need to scan hundreds of test artifacts.
  • Versions can be compared from high-level visualization all the way down to the code level.

Automatic performance analysis:

  • performs an accurate code-level differential analysis
  • provides a side-by-side comparison from build to build, or from a particular version to the current build calculates a baseline for every test
  • compares diagnostics around memory usage to pinpoint memory regressions
  • compare individual transactions.

Load test on your own schedule.

  • Flexible scheduling lets you run tests right away or schedule them for another time.
  • No need to set up additional accounts with cloud providers; global network of cloud locations and last mile computers is provisioned for you.
  • No costly hardware and software investments. Pay for what you use.

Self-service load testing gives you:

  • SaaS portal access anywhere for complete test setup and scheduling
  • automatic cloud provisioning
  • web accessible script recorder.

Rapid identification of problems down to the root cause.

  • Drill down from a high-level symptom to the precise line of code for any transaction.
  • Complete coverage of problems anywhere along the application delivery chain.

Interactive dashboards and charts with code-level drill down.

  • Standard views include memory, synchronization and browser analysis, object-level detail, overall health and hot-spot analysis.
