Configure Integration with CA APM

DevTest Solutions is available in two versions, Workstation and Server. The Workstation version is designed to create and verify DevTest test cases and virtual simulations of server components. The Workstation runs in a single Java process (the DevTest Workstation) and is therefore limited in the size of such tests and simulations. The Server version breaks out a number of functions into one or more separate Java processes that can be run on multiple systems, if necessary.

All DevTest Java processes can be instrumented with CA Application Performance Management (APM) Introscope agents. This instrumentation allows generic metrics that describe the state of the process to be reported to the Introscope Enterprise Manager. These metrics include:

In addition, the DevTest TestEvent tracer can instrument the DevTest coordinator to generate a series of metrics describing the execution of DevTest test cases. This instrumentation is available regardless of whether the coordinator is run as a separate process or in DevTest Workstation. DevTest Workstation is an interactive process with a Windows-based UI. Other than DevTest Workstation, all the other DevTest processes can be run either as regular Windows processes or as Windows services. Both kinds of process can be instrumented with Introscope agents.
