SpeedTrace Pro - new CTP Version 3.4 online!

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

Two separate setup installations

To enable the free distribution of recorders (trace agents) and independent tracing for advanced test automation, the program has been divided into two separate setups that run independently from one another.

The installation consists of 2 setups and 1 sample program
1st setup:       Just the recorder
2nd setup:      Recorder + SpeedTrace client

Both setups can be dowloaded directly from here:

Test automation interface …

SpeedTrace Pro First Preview 3.4 Upgrade thus adds the following new features:

1. TraceAgentService (1st setup) runs independently without SpeedTrace license. So you now have a setup without the graphic configuration and analyzing component.

2. You now also have a test automation interface (2nd setup)!
a) Via Library (Tracing API)
- Recording API
- Analysis API
b) Via Command Line Interface (command files control the recorder)

… enables regular sanity check monitoring

This is only the first part of the features Version 3.4 will eventually have. But the features should come in useful to perform the sanity checks you might want to carry out regularly on your own or your clients’ apps:

(A) Command Line Interface

  • The command line interface tool ipcas.SpeedTrace.SpeedTraceTool.exe is located in the folder <SpeedTraceAppDir>\etc.
  • A sample command line file  (TestJob.txt) is located in the folder <SpeedTraceAppDir>\Samples\Testautomation\viaCLI

(B) Tracing API (Recording & Analysis)

  • sample AutomationRecorderTester.csproj can be found in the folder <SpeedTraceAppDir>\Samples\viaAPI\AutomationRecorderTester

We welcome your evaluation feedback …

Since these features are still in the initial stages of testing, we would warmly welcome any suggestions you may have and ask you to report any difficulties the moment they crop up so that we can set things right as soon as possible. Should you have any questions, comments, or wishes, please do not hesitate to contact us at holger.heinrich@ipcas.de or bruce.roberts@ipcas.de

… and offer our fullest support

Of course, you will on request receive our ample support for best practices to profile and trace your app to your best advantage. We’d also be delighted to be able to demonstrate the full scope of SpeedTrace Pro to you and your colleagues and answer any further questions you may have in a cost-free Webinar.

You may also download the SpeedTrace Pro pre-release Version 3.4 from our SpeedTrace download section.

Software implementing soft skills at OOP 2009

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

SpeedTrace exhibited again

We are exhibiting SpeedTrace again at the OOP 2009 in Munich from January 27 to 29! Come and visit us in Hall 4, Stand 4.4. Since last year’s OOP software trade fair SpeedTrace has been enhanced with many new features and shaped to yet further perfection (see previous blog entries). We are also seizing the occasion to present our Software Performance Consulting concept in connection with SpeedTrace.

OOP 2009 soft skill focus

The OOP software trade fair has always had a knack for combining software technology with the often underestimated managerial skills required to implement software-based solutions. Since the importance of these social aspects including improved communication skills, trust building, team motivation, etc. has been gaining increasing attention in recent years, the OOP has adopted "soft skills" as its main thematic focus for 2009.

IT performance consulting with SpeedTrace

Within this context SpeedTrace is going to be introduced in the new light of its general concept of IT performance consulting. In previous entries I have tried to point out that SpeedTrace is much more than just a tool. Due to its highly modular structure (complex filtering system, scaled viewing, multiple functionality, etc.) it is more like a highly sophisticated toolkit that calls for a more experienced interactive approach to problem solving based on the principle of elimination.

SpeedTrace consulting experience

We have also had a lot of good experience doing consulting for major companies over the last couple of years. Large-scale projects involving whole departments or even whole companies often require a lot of support with a highly systematic consulting approach. Accordingly, a variety of measures including introductory seminars, guided and systematized diagnostic sessions, and supervised development of rigorous and consistent measurement methodologies have to be orchestrated and fine-tuned to meet the individual requirements and purposes of the organizations concerned.

The Transparence Empowers Principle (TEP)

In the light of this new dimension, our SpeedTrace team is launching its consulting concept under our newly created precept:

T r a n s p a r e n c e e m p o w e r s !

As shown in our last entry " …Get to the root" SpeedTrace’s unique nonintrusive architecture is best apt to deliver the valid facts of a problem enabling you to penetrate deep down into your code to expose the root causes of a problem and render them clear and transparent. In doing so it empowers software developers by providing them with the linchpin for creating effective solutions.

transparence empowers

TEP-based marketing and consulting

Analogously, our marketing approach of offering CTP versions to potential customers to try out and apply SpeedTrace is also open and transparent and geared to encourage users to solve their problems on their own with a little support and guidance.

Our consulting approach is also aimed in a joint effort to render an organization’s software absolutely transparent and susceptible to effective diagnostics as quickly as possible in order to empower companies to self-reliantly develop their own long-lasting expedient solutions.
