Developer Toolkit and Business iQ Set a New
Standard for App Team Collaboration, from Code to Business
Performance
Enterprise iQ and Business iQ Updates Make It
Simple to Drive Application and Business Performance at the Scale
and Complexity of Digital Business
AppDynamics, a Cisco company and the leader in application
intelligence, today announced its Spring ‘17 release, including the
AppDynamics Developer Toolkit and major updates to Enterprise iQ
and Business iQ. The latest release empowers application teams to
deliver impactful customer experiences faster while laying the
foundation for unprecedented scale. Now, the entire business can
quickly align around a single goal: continuously delivering high
quality mobile and web applications faster than ever. AppDynamics
customers can quickly build, deploy, measure and improve their
customer experiences regardless of the environment.
In our digital-first world, where quality and performance are
prerequisites for brand loyalty, delivering flawless application
experiences is the key to business success. However, many
businesses — slowed by organizational misalignment and specialist
tools that isolate individuals and groups — struggle to meet
increasingly high customer expectations. This puts an enormous
strain on application teams to deliver new applications, features,
and fixes faster and more reliably.
“Today, the application is the business, creating immense
pressure on organizations to deliver new experiences that ‘wow’
customers,” said Bhaskar Sunkara, chief technical officer and head
of product at AppDynamics. “And digital leaders continually raise
the bar for what consumers expect from application experiences.
With our new Developer Toolkit, companies can give their
application teams the context of how their code impacts the
business and deliver innovation like a digital leader.”
Introducing the AppDynamics Developer Toolkit
With the new Developer Toolkit, the AppDynamics Spring ‘17
release provides application teams unmatched application
development lifecycle transparency, from the code to end-user
experiences and the business outcomes. With this newfound
visibility, every team member can see the impact their work has on
the business in real time, and ultimately deliver better
applications that create value for the organization. The new
Developer Toolkit spans tools for build, test, analysis and
continuous improvement:
Build. Support for new languages and development tools
enables application developers to transform ideas into better apps
faster.
- Go Support — Go’s (or Golang’s)
popularity continues to rise because it’s powerful yet easy to
understand and maintain. With AppDynamics for Go, application teams
now have the patented Business Transaction (BT) detection and
tracing for Go applications. They can now gain insight with reports
on errors generated by bad requests, providing better end-to-end
coverage across distributed application environments.
- Xamarin Support — Comprehensive support
for Xamarin allows mobile application developers to embed
AppDynamics in native iOS and Android mobile applications and
monitor and drive application performance from a single code
base.
- Android Studio Plugin — Developers can
now automate the instrumentation process for Android applications,
thereby reducing errors and making it easier for developers to
deliver performant Android mobile apps.
Integration and Test. New extensions to BTs empower app
teams to focus on the user journeys and code that move the needle
the most, improving customer outcomes and speeding release
velocity.
- Developer Mode Business Transactions
— With new Developer Mode BTs, application teams now have
deep-code diagnostics for specific Business Transactions in both
pre-production and production environments enabling them to quickly
address bottlenecks and remediate any issues found in testing.
- Live Mode Business Transactions — Live
Mode BTs deliver faster and more accurate configuration by
detecting and defining rules according to live application data to
identify critical Business Transactions.
Automated Analysis. With new crash analysis tools,
applications teams will spend less time on unplanned work and
troubleshooting, and more time building new features that can
impact the business.
- Smart Crash Alerts — When instrumenting
new mobile applications, Smart Crash Alerts are set up by default
to save time and effort post-instrumentation. Spend less time
configuring alerts.
- Unique Crashes in Business iQ — New
crash reports in Business iQ correlate app crashes to business
metrics like conversion rates, revenue or anything else the
business tracks. Now app teams have new visibility into crashes so
they can prioritize fixing the issues that matter the most to the
business.
Smarter Continuous Improvement with Business iQ. The best
apps are continuously refined and tuned to improve the user
experience. The AppDynamics Developer Toolkit provides unmatched
intelligence into customer journeys so app teams know which updates
will matter the most to customers and the business.
- Real User Insights — New session
summary dashboards track individual customer sessions while
capturing scrolls, taps and other gestures so developers and
business leaders gain unparalleled insight into how customers
experience applications.
- Mobile Scorecard — Major updates to the
mobile scorecard show the metrics that matter, at a glance. The new
mobile scorecard makes it easy to see crash rate, number of
crashes, network request performance, and error rates for every
mobile application at a glance.
Enterprise iQ and Business iQ Enhancements
The Spring ‘17 release also features updates to Enterprise iQ
that provide powerful new capabilities and scale for modern
enterprises including:
- License Management — Provides
the flexibility required for DevOps environments by assigning
licenses based on business unit. With powerful configuration rules
and a simple to read dashboard, license keys can be easily assigned
or reassigned so that teams never run out of licenses when they
need it.
- Universal Agent — Deploying,
upgrading, and maintaining agents is now significantly easier. A
single package can now be deployed to any machine that requires
monitoring, and the universal agent will coordinate with the
AppDynamics controller to automatically deploy and configure it so
teams spend less time configuring and more time innovating.
Universal agent supports the Java and Machine agent types, with
other agents expected to be supported in future releases.
- More Powerful Business iQ Metrics
— Baselines become even more powerful with the Spring ‘17
release. By leveraging the power of the AppDynamics Query Language
(ADQL) in Business iQ, application teams can build powerful
dashboards and establish health rules faster than ever. Now
application teams have even more intelligence into how application
changes are impacting the business.
Comments on the News
- “Our most valuable asset is our
customers, so our culture is ferociously focused on ensuring
results today and readiness for tomorrow,” said Jeff Brady, Program
Manager at Allscripts. “To do this, everyone in the business must
understand the impact their work has on end users. With
AppDynamics’ new Developer Toolkit, our application teams are able
to collaborate around delivering value enabled healthcare IT to
every line of code.”
- “A frequent cause of underperforming
application teams is a lack of collaboration or common goals,” said
Donnie Berkholz, Research Director at 451 Research. “With its new
Developer Toolkit, AppDynamics aims to help build stronger teams
with more impactful results by providing a framework for
measurement and shared ownership that teams can rally around.”
Pricing and Availability
- The AppDynamics Spring ‘17 release is
expected to be made generally available beginning April 5.
