Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Compuware Strobe to manage and analyze applications for our clients mostly in the health and media sector and in-house operations. I engage with Compuware frequently to run analyses of our deployed bots' applications. It makes it possible to narrow down and identify performance issues and improves my coding experience and efficiency.

Pros

  • Runs detailed analysis on captured data to aid in tuning applications.
  • It's possible to run early tests on the bots' codes to detect early performance issues.

Cons

  • Does not collect all performance indicators(toolchain measurements) in early CI pipelines.

Return on Investment

  • It has helped us identify issues affecting our and our clients' applications' performance.
  • Smoothened robots deployment.
