Borland at JavaOne also will tout its upcoming Optimizeit ServerTrace 3 tool, providing performance optimization and management for the J2EE platform and SOAs. Shipping in August, the software serves as the performance testing component of Borland’s ALM (application lifecycle management) portfolio and features integration with the StarTeam management element of the ALM platform. This integration provides for problem-tracking.
New in Version 3 is the ability to pinpoint performance bottlenecks quickly during pre-deployment testing, in the Test Edition of the product. It can be integrated with third-party test tools such as Mercury LoadRunner and Segue SilkPerformer.
Version 3 tracks Web service application calls in SOAs, to optimize response times and maintain application availability, according to Borland. A hibernate mode featured in the Production Edition of ServerTrace 3 captures performance diagnostics at the precise moment when an application problem occurs.
