1 expert.

dynaTrace AJAX Edition now delivers specific re­commen­dations about how to opti­mize your Web 2.0 app, right to your finger­tips. These field-tested re­commen­da­tions, based on best prac­tices from Google, Yahoo, and real AJAX Edition users, do the hard work for you so you can solve problems in minutes.


2 automated.

Reuse the functional test scripts from your test automation framework to measure Web 2.0 performance in the browser. No instrumentation is required, which means you get accurate performance measurements. Integrate your automated tests into continuous integration systems to uncover performance regression issues with day-to-day builds as they are introduced.


3 eye-opening.

Every web page measured by the AJAX Edition is evaluated against a collection of key performance indicators (KPIs), assessed against industry best practices and norms, and given a grade between A and F. You can also compare your site to those of specific competitors or industry benchmarks so you know how your app stacks up.


4 revealing.

The way your users experience your web site depends on much more than just Javascript code. Measure everything the browser is doing to pull content over the network, parse code, render objects, and manipulate the DOM.


5 IE-friendly.

Internet Explorer is still is the number one browser in the market. Despite its popularity, good performance analysis tools for IE have been hard to find. dynaTrace AJAX Edition fills this gap by providing the number one tool for Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8 (IE9 support is coming soon). Use one tool to analyze and compare performance across multiple browser versions.


6 lightweight.

Plug the small dynaTrace native agent as a Browser Helper Object into Internet Explorer and collect fine grained diagnostics data from within the browser at virtually no noticeable overhead - even with very large and complex AJAX applications built on a number of different AJAX frameworks.


7 smart.

See which Javascript hotspots are taking the most time, whether they be individual function calls or many repeated calls of the same code. Filter out Javascript libraries or frameworks that you are not interested in so you can quickly and easily find a bottleneck and resolve it.


8 web 2.0 sharp.

Relate user interactions and page events (e.g., onload) to JavaScript, network and rendering activities to understand what has triggered them. Directly drill into AJAX PurePaths, network requests and page rendering for more detailed diagnostics.


9 collaborative.

Analyze AJAX performance in real-time and forward your data to others for offline performance diagnosis on their local desktop. Problem reproduction becomes obsolete, thereby accelerating problem resolution dramatically.


10 visual.

Trace and analyze AJAX calls through their entire round trip (DOM event - JavaScript - HTTP request - JavaScript callback). Reoccurring AJAX calls (e.g. queries for updates) are combined under a single node to simplify visualization.

Upload your results directly to ShowSlow, a popular open source performance benchmarking service, and compare the performance of your application to your competitors’.
