Long-term cost of unsupported free tools. Customer Objection Our Response Proof Points Price Our price is cheap relative to the value of document review, metrics and reporting, integrations. Schlumberger Problem: Know they want code review but were having difficulty justifying the price Solution: Selling Collaborator internally by positioning it as a necessary collaboration tool across their three main geographies. Code review takes too much time The time is worth the value gained from a better code base. Kronos Problem: Did not believe code review would be worth it Solution: Collaborator Result: Post-implementation, they found code review to be a worthwhile investment with a strong ROI. Code review is not Agile (too rigid) Code review helps enterprises become more Agile. USAA Problem: Wanted to be Agile but could not, given their size and distributed nature of the teams Solution: Collaborating through peer review Result: Enabled the teams to be more nimble and more aware of changes during the development process. Not a priority Go higher in organization in order to learn more about the customer s value drivers. Schlumberger Problem: Know they want code review but it s not a priority for the overall company Solution: Schlumberger UK has a major advocate for peer review that is selling the product first in his location, but wants to eventually sell it throughout corporate (UK, Houston, France). Other solutions are good enough Have you considered the total cost of ownership for open source? PlantCML Problem: They were looking for a way to eliminate the manual steps of a code review and gather metrics Solution: Collaborator Result: Eliminated many of the manual steps in their code review process and allowed them to generate custom reports to gather specific types of metrics. 13
AQTime Discovery Guide 2015 SmartBear Confidential AQTime Discovery Guide Value Driver Discovery Questions (Current State) Improve Application Performance What impact do performance bottlenecks within your applications have on end user satisfaction? How do you assess your application for possible memory leaks? How do you know what the resource allocation looks like for your applications? How do you ensure adequate code coverage when testing for memory leaks? Before Scenario Negative Consequence No tools used to find performance bottlenecks in applications. No ability to do memory profiling to identify sources of leaks. New applications are released that perform inefficiently. Applications are unstable and overly prone to crash. Developers can t quickly assess applications to understand how efficiently they use resources. New applications released without knowing whether code coverage is sufficient to look at all parts of the application. Discovery Questions (Future State) How would you like to go about detecting memory leaks and getting more visibility into resource consumption of your applications? What do you need to be more confident that new application releases will be as stable as possible and perform to end user expectations? How valuable would it be to know whether tests cover the entire application and whether additional tests are required? After Scenario Applications are designed to be as efficient as possible in consumption of memory and other computing resources. Confidence that applications will be stable and less likely to crash. Realistic tests that accurately simulate users and activities, getting as close to real life as possible. Positive Business Outcome Better end user experience and higher satisfaction. Applications work according to original business goals. Discovery Questions (What s Required to get there?) What is necessary for you to quickly find performance bottlenecks in your applications and scripts? How much more confidence would you have in your applications if you could detect different types of memory and resource leaks? How would you like to be able to perform code coverage analysis to understand whether tests are looking at every part of the application? 14
2015 SmartBear Confidential AQTime Discovery Guide Value Driver Improve Application Performance Required Capabilities Accomplish performance profiling of the entire or specific parts of the application. Find and monitor memory leaks. Ability to do continual code coverage analysis to assess which parts of the application are fully tested, partially tested, or not tested at all. Metrics Memory consumption rates and performance times. Total memory usage, memory consumption by category, and resource types. Percent coverage rates and lines of code covered or uncovered. Performance hot spots. Function level and line level hit counts and memory allocations. How We Do It (Satisfy the Required Capabilities) How We Do It Better Find performance bottlenecks in 32-bit and 64-bit C/C++, Delphi,.NET, Java, and Silverlight applications and scripts. Start with a quick performance inspection using the lightweight Sampling profiler and then drill deeper into the hot spots using the more accurate Performance profiler. See application s memory and resource allocations in real time to detect excessive memory and resource usage. Monitor total memory usage, memory usage by category (heap, reserved virtual memory etc). AQtime provides code coverage analysis for C/C++,.NET, Silverlight, Java and Delphi applications. AQtime can be used to measure code coverage during manual application runs, as well as integrated into your automated regression tests for continuous coverage analysis. Code coverage analysis shows which source files, functions and lines of code have been covered by tests, are untested or only partially tested. This helps you know what additional tests to create and how to improve your existing tests. Comprehensive yet easy-to-understand reports that allow developers to easily locate performance bottlenecks, memory and resource leaks and other issues in applications, and optimize the source code appropriately. Summary and detailed reports with ability to visualize critical paths. Use as a standalone performance profiler, or integrated into Microsoft Visual Studio and Embarcadero RAD Studio IDEs for improved productivity. Focus on specific parts of source code and select the exact source files, classes or methods to performance profile or exclude from profiling; start and stop profiling any time during the application run or start and stop profiling automatically when the application execution enters or exits a specific method. Compare profiling results of different application runs to easily view performance difference before and after optimizations; view the difference as exact values or as a percentage. Merge code coverage results from multiple test runs to get aggregate coverage statistics for your entire project. This is useful for large projects where testing is performed in multiple environments. AQtime can also merge results automatically after each coverage session to save you time and allow you to focus on the end results. AQtime includes a Failure Emulator to simulate faults during your application run and monitor their impact on the application behavior to evaluate the effectiveness of application s built-in fault detection and recovery code, determine the performance loss due to failures, and identify dependability bottlenecks that may need to be addressed using fallback solutions. Work smarter and optimize your code in Microsoft Visual Studio or Embarcadero RAD Studio. Find performance issues, memory and resource leaks right from your IDE. 15
