The current scenario

Automation & Performance Testing – Two silos

Coordination between two streams doesn’t exist

UI Automation giving no clue on performance

Importance of UI Performance analysis

How to relate/derive integration?

Relation The existing UI automation can be integrated with UI performance analysis

tool – Dynatrace Ajax

The integration is easy to achieve with wider set of UI automation tools like – Selenium , QTP , TestComplete

Dynatrace Ajax comes as plugin to the browsers and hence it can be utilized in the manual testing as well.

With Selenium WebDriver it can be added as capability in browser driver (Firefox, IE)

With any other tool , all you need to do is add plugin to the browser , start it & run automation tests in the same browser.

The Entire Process

The results of this integration are multifold when integrated with CI environment.

Greatly helps for agile projects where NFR requirements can be met more effectively and tracked from sprint to sprint.

Brings Performance earlier in the whole cycle - Ultimately reducing time in detection of bugs, defect lifecycle
