Performance Edition 5.0 helps quality assurance (QA) teams quickly create performance test scripts, provides users with control over the entire test execution for quick identification of application problems and gives real-time visibility into server performance.
Version 5.0 also offers advanced reporting capabilities, including drag-and-drop customisation and a library of preconfigured reports.
New features include Visual Navigation, which has an interface with full graphical displays of the captured webpages making it simple to step through and validate captured transactions. Users can access specific, consistent reports using a library of predefined standard reports, available with a single mouse click. A drag and drop feature allows them to modify reports quickly.
Performance Edition also enables users to monitor server performance in real-time through agentless monitoring – keeping the integrity of the server intact and saving department resources from having to install agents on each machine being tested. The software also integrates with Compuware’s Vantage application monitor to provide breakdowns of transactions so that testers can understand performance problems within the context of the client/network/server relationship. Within Vantage, each webpage is broken down, exposing how each component on the page performed across the network.
The company is introducing a new, more flexible licensing structure for organisations with multiple testing groups, applications and architectures. Instead of requiring companies to purchase set groups of virtual users for each tester and each environment, Compuware enables testers to ‘check out’ virtual users from a pool, in library-like fashion, leaving the remainder available for others to use. With this licensing model, many different groups can share the same licence and virtual users over multiple applications.
