The Insider's Guide to Next-Generation BPM
06/02/2004
Segue Software (NASDAQ-SCM: SEGU), a software quality optimization company, and Borland Software (NASDAQ NM: BORL), a provider of platform-independent software development and deployment solutions, announced a strategic relationship. The two companies say they “will jointly market a comprehensive J2EE solution and methodology for optimizing the performance of enterprise Java applications. The joint offering is comprised of Segue’s SilkPerformer, an enterprise load and performance testing solution, and Borland Optimizeit ServerTrace, an in-depth J2EE root-cause analysis solution, the performance management component of the Borland Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) technology set. With the combination of these two products, customers obtain an end-to-end solution for proactively meeting performance targets for J2EE applications by eliminating application bottlenecks.”
The vendors added these details:
Today, there exists tremendous business risk and revenue loss through application outages in high-transaction, J2EE environments. Market trends clearly demonstrate that J2EE technology adoption is growing; particularly in Web-based, mission-critical enterprise applications. J2EE is becoming a leading technology for use in Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) and the current trend towards the use of SOAs further increases the need for a robust load testing and root-cause analysis solution to ensure acceptable levels of performance.
”Growth in the development of transaction-intensive, enterprise J2EE applications has underscored the criticality for the performance testing of J2EE applications, prior to deployment. Borland and Segue deliver a powerful lifecycle approach for performance management, offering a solution that can test from the end-user perspective and also easily diagnose performance-impacting issues deep within the J2EE tiers,” said Kevin Gallagher, Vice President of Research and Reporting at Newport Group. “The combined solution drastically reduces the risk, time and expense of resolving performance issues to better meet the needs of enterprise customers.”
Successful implementation of critical e-business applications depends on proper planning, testing and management of applications, both before and after deployment. The Borland/Segue solution and methodology are specifically targeted at helping organizations minimize the risk of application downtime and efficiently leverage QA and development resources on tuning activities that will have immediate impact.
Organizations use SilkPerformer to model anticipated user load and surface performance vulnerabilities, proactively. Performance testing is critical, as even the most well-designed application ‘breaks’ at relatively low Virtual User (VU) levels in initial performance testing. Once SilkPerformer has uncovered a performance problem, Borland’s Optimizeit ServerTrace quickly captures and reports on deep root-cause diagnostics information from within all J2EE application tiers. Whether the performance issue exists in an application, server or back-end system, Optimizeit ServerTrace can pinpoint not only the individual component and method - but also the actual line of code in which the problem resides. Further, integration with Borland ALM technologies, allows issues to be corrected at the code level for rapid resolution with Borland JBuilder, the market leading Java development environment.
“The key advantage of the Borland approach is the ability to troubleshoot complex, enterprise applications and immediately isolate problems and communicate them in an unambiguous way to development teams who can then take action to correct critical problems in the code,” commented Boz Elloy, senior vice president of Software Products at Borland. “Combining load testing approaches with the appropriate level of J2EE diagnostic information offers a powerful performance solution for our joint customers.”
“Collaboration between the quality assurance and development teams is key to making any application a success,” said Rohit Gupta, vice president of alliances at Segue. “The strategic relationship with Borland provides our joint customers the capability to performance test in J2EE environments in tandem with quickly identifying and resolving issues deep within the J2EE tier as problems are uncovered. Swift identification and resolution of performance issues increases staff productivity, resource efficiency and return on investment in all phases of application deployment.”

A lot of people are talking about Enterprise 2.0 as being the business application of Web 2.0 technology. However, there's still some debate on exactly what this technology entails, how it applies to today's business models, and which components bring true value. Some use the term Enterprise 2.0 exclusively to describe the use of social networking technologies in the enterprise, while others use it to describe a web economy platform, or the technological framework behind such a platform. Still others say that Enterprise 2.0 is all of these things. Learn More
