CA Application Delivery Analysis vs. DX Application Performance Management

Look no farther than this tool if you need an API testing solution that also includes service virtualization. This technology also forces you to move your testing lifecycle to earlier stages of development, which improves the overall SDLC.

CA Wily is well suited for monitoring the load balanced application nodes and determine their main performance bottlenecks like if problem exists in heap or in some connection issues. But I think when it comes to providing the entire report of the application, it is less appropriate as there is no way to create the entire report of the test for all the counters monitored. Also there is no way to detect some issues based on the system configuration.

• This is an excellent tool for implementing Service virtualization in your own and/or third-party web services. This ensures that our automation and performance test environments are always available and consistent.
• This application also aids in the setup and maintenance of test data, which is an important component of test automation.

Incentivized

• Alerting which can be customized by the end user.
• Visualization of the metrics and data presented to provide a unique and attractive interface.
• Flexibility to manage actions and commands that we deem important for each application. The ability to define these and customize the metrics reported for each individual application is huge for us.

• This tool has a license fee and is not free. Many open-source tools provide free API testing solutions, therefore turning some of this tool's features open-source might be beneficial.
• The tool's load testing component is not integrated and instead relies on the free Blaze meter.

• We are facing challenges to meet RFP requirements in few areas where I would recommend CA to improve.
• We are facing challenges for non (java and dotnet application) which CA APM does not support. SAP is another solution where CA APM is not able to address our business requirement.

Along with the Parasoft SOA tool, it is unquestionably among the top leaders in API testing and virtualization. Many open-source API testing libraries are free, including Rest Assured, Karate, and even Postman and SOAP UI, which goes against CA.

We only have 1 application using DX APM, while most of other applications are instrumented using Dynatrace. Dynatrace provides a better monitoring and instrumentation for applications. The required effort to setup monitoring capability using DX APM is way more work compared to Dynatrace, also the amount of KPIs offered from Dynatrace is more than DX APM.

• In our group, this instrument produced a high return on investment. We saw a considerable reduction in downtime in our test environments thanks to service virtualization.
• In addition, service virtualization reduces the expenses of interacting with third-party services, which is common in low-cost contexts.

• Introscope is deeply utilized within the organization. However, CEM and Team Center not as much. Those that use one piece don't generally use the others. Partially because of the curve in learning how to use the consoles effectively.
• reporting is pretty well configured and easy to setup if you know how to use the tools. So this can be easy to use and takes less time to configure for the different groups within the organization.
