This is to anounce that SpeedTrace Version 3.4 adding powerful cloud computing functionality is to be released soon before the end of this month!

New cutting edge cloud computing features

The new SpeedTrace Pro Version 3.4 adds even more cutting-edge functionality:

-    Freely Distributable Recorder Service
-    Test Automation Interface
-    Remote Tracing Capabilities
-    Distributed Tracing Capabilities

This is especially good news for people interested in remote monitoring, testing, maintenance and support – over the cloud! These features respectably add up to complete the diagnostics for the entire lifecycle of your software regardless of location!

Ubiquitous remote tracing free of charge

With the new SpeedTrace Pro version and the help of the Freely Redistributable Recorder providing free recorder service (1st Setup) you can now trace any external client via Internet/network free of charge. Due to Remote Tracing and Distributed Tracing capabilities you can also remote-trace this recorded data from your server where – provided you have a SpeedTrace license – the trace data can be read, interpreted, profiled, evaluated with the help of the SpeedTrace profiler (2nd Setup).

Profile distributed apps over the cloud

As to the mode, number, and frequency of your trace data instalments, that is something you can configure yourself with SpeedTrace according to your own special requirements. In principle, the Freely Redistributable Recorder of SpeedTrace Version 3.4 works like the black box deployed in aviation. With the respective time stamps you can always trace what happened during an event, what lead up to it and with some interpretation (profiling) find out what actually caused it … you can now even do this over the cloud!

Profiling over the cloud – Upside

Tracing and profiling over the cloud has tremendous advantages enabling companies to introduce near to realtime, potentially ubiquitous deployment and thus seemingly to overcome all restrictions of time and space …

Security issues – Downside

However, wherever there is an upside there usually is also a downside to any new functionality: Without taking the necessary precautions, working in the cloud (remote tracing, distributed trace agents) is liable to raise serious security issues. You might find yourself at peril of being exposed to unauthorized access and spying activities if you don’t have any built-in security locks to prevent misuse. We believe that taking all necessary precautionary measures is a top priority concern for any software development.

Built-in security locks – Right side up!

To address the issue, SpeedTrace Pro now has integrated security locks that block any unauthorized access and/or spying attempts. You now have a fair amount of options to guarantee internet security ranging from password-protected settings to authorization restrictions. The new SpeedTrace Pro CTP Build 3.4.11, ready for download later on this week, implements these to perfection.

Distributed functionality …

SpeedTrace Pro 3.4.8 adds a special new feature to test automation and remote tracing: Previously, you had to start several SpeedTrace clients or instances, one for each machine you wanted to trace remotely. Now, you can activate    s e v e r a l   projects from within    o n e  and the  s a m e  UI to do so. This not only enables Remote but full-fledged Distributed Tracing. So you can not only trace and profile processes on any number of target machines belonging to customers or clients anywhere on the globe, but you can now do this simultaneously within one single user interface (UI).

… enables easier management …

For example, Machine A communicates with mit Machine B which communicates with Machine B … etc. Now, with distributed functionality, the SpeedTrace Client can record all three machines within one and the same UI at the same time. Whether you trace all 3 clients of a single customer or you trace 3 customers with their clients simultaneously from one UI, makes no difference.

… and a more structured analysis of distributed systems

Accordingly, an interface has been designed which provides a single point of reference to deal with logs and traces produced by various components of a distributed system. By recording and correlating the events throughout a distributed system of customer application, and thus being able to address the interactive relationships of its system components, SpeedTrace Pro prepares the ground for even more systematic and profound analyses of distributed application problems.

Version 3.4.7 of our .Net
Tracing and Profiling Solution is available now.

A small bug in the DataTrace Engine was fixed.

Here you can download the latest build.

We have improved our SpeedTrace Pro 3.4 Version even further!

You can download the current BUILD 3.4.6 here:

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:

http://dotnet-profiler.com/get-net-profiler-and-tracer-now/#pro_ctp

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.
