Dynatrace news. We’re happy to announce that by opening up Dynatrace OneAgent for integration of custom metrics, Dynatrace has automated alerting on crucial metrics and removes the need to maintain local configurations for StatsD, Telegraf, and Prometheus—even in the largest of environments, which can include hundreds of thousands of instances and containers.

Dynatrace news. Dynatrace recently opened up the enterprise-grade functionalities of Dynatrace OneAgent to all the data needed for observability, including metrics, events, logs, traces, and topology data. Our breakthrough in augmenting open API interfaces like StatsD, Telegraf, and Prometheus now allows customers to feed third-party metrics into Dynatrace and map those metrics into our real-time Smartscape topology.

In my experiences of planning for testing in various environments, and across several teams and organizations, the value of that planning was never the document itself; rather, it was the thoughts and consideration of the activities, resources and potential risks and issues yet to be discovered. Thinking deeply about all of those things and writing them down, in whatever form the final document took, was the real value of the exercise.

According to a survey conducted on software test automation , 51% of organisations prefer to retrain existing staff in test automation skills. While there are still 49% that would like to hire them specially for test automation related tasks. Other findings from the same survey confirmed that organisations want to move to more of test automation and a minimum of manual testing.

Dynatrace news. Observability as a topic is becoming more important as applications are using microservice architectures and are deployed in Kubernetes environments. In a recent real-world use case , a team of application developers were relying on metrics and log data alone to diagnose memory issues and they had a hard time identifying the root-cause of the issue.

Application development has evolved, and therefore new needs have arisen when it comes to testing and new tools to deal with them. Let’s take a look! We have gone from having monolithic architectures to applications based on (micro) services. Why do I say (micro) services instead of microservices? Because although the literature talks about the evolution of development from monolithic applications to applications based on microservices, in reality, we often find ourselves with the integration of

Testers, in their day-to-day lives, have to do many types of tasks. And to enable them to do those tasks there are many tools in the market too. These tools usually specialize in helping the testers perform a certain task. Sometimes these tools can be used to completely automate the tasks while at other times these tools can make the tasks easier. In this article we will try to broadly categorize these tools.

Dynatrace news. Kubernetes at scale in the enterprise is complex. Systems are constantly changing, with pods existing only briefly to perform tasks before they’re terminated. In such circumstances, it’s challenging to investigate the reasons for unexpected behavior or traffic between pods. Dynatrace is the only Kubernetes monitoring solution that provides continuous automation and full-stack automated observability without changing code, container images, or deployments.

How to speed up your X-ray benchmark development cycle by re-using/re-cycling benchmark VMs and more importantly data-sets.

Assuming we have enough storage bandwidth, the throughput.

The behavior of the Windows scheduler changed significantly in Windows 10 2004, in a way that will break a few applications, and there appears to have been no announcement, and the documentation has not been updated. This isn’t the first time this has happened , but this change seems bigger than last time. The short version is that calls to timeBeginPeriod from one process now affect other processes less than they used to, but there is still an effect.

Introduction. Rewinds are specific to operators on the inner side of a nested loops join or apply. The idea is to reuse previously-computed results from part of an execution plan where it is safe to do so. The canonical example of a plan operator that can rewind is the lazy Table Spool. Its raison d’être is to cache result rows from a plan subtree, then replay those rows on subsequent iterations if any correlated loop parameters are unchanged.
