Platforms
The use of application performance management is common for web applications written to JEE and Microsoft .NET platforms. All of the leading systems management vendors have JEE and .NET APM products in their portfolios. These APM for JEE and .NET based applications have the advantage of being able to measure response time from the perspective of the web server, and being able to provide root cause analysis for the likely causes of performance issues within the applications code executing in the JEE or .NET environment. Many of these products also have connectors that monitor the transaction flow from the business logic layer of the application to the database server, or to external interfaces like web services. Some of these vendors also have HTTP appliances in their product line that can decode transaction specific response times at the web server layer.
Dependency injection software development frameworks on JEE instrument an application to provide performance metrics automatically. For example, Spring-based JEE applications support management protocols to provide observed issues in application operation to a performance management tool/dashboard. SpringSource acquired APM-player Hyperic in 2009 to combine application development, automatic application instrumentation, and application performance management. Aspect Oriented Programming on JEE platforms enables automatic performance monitoring without instrumentation of the application. PushToTest TestMaker is an open source load testing solution that integrates with Glassbox, an open source application performance monitoring and troubleshooter application.

Famous quotes containing the word platforms:
