Application Economy

runs on Modern Applications

80s & 90s Applications Were Internal to the CompanyEmployees were trained on an application and called help desk with problems.

Employees were trained on applications and knew the “rules” of the business

Calls centers were really SME centers

*crash*!, So how is the weather in Greenbay? Packers doing well this year!

Enter 20xx, Rise of ConsumersApplications went into the consumers hands - no training, no help desk.

Errors are presented in the most graceful way possible

Increase in customer churn from 2.5% to 5.0% means that business is 50% smaller in 5 years

Spend more time preventing these errors than trying to recover fast is the best strategy

*crash*!

Introducing CA Continuous Application Insight

Discover paths and capture transactions.

Visualize transaction details and gain insight.

Automate virtual service creation and test automation.

CA CAI addresses critical DevTest challenges

Architectural complexity, lack of transaction details, inadequate documentation causes inefficient development and testing.

Poor root cause analysis prevents debugging and results longer time to repair.

Too much manual effort in test automation and constraints removal with stubs and mocks.

End-to-End Transaction Discovery – enables thorough analysis by breaking down architectural and structural complexity of applications

Actionable Insights – helps diagnose the right issues, so you are not solving the wrong problems

Automate your Automation – automates virtual service and test case creation to eliminate manual work

Where do we test in a modern application?

Applications are written from bottom up and top down in parallel

APIs tend to be written first (or virtualized), well before the orchestration layers or user interfaces

Load Testing at API is well accepted in modern application deployments
