Deliver Java applications quickly, or with high quality? It shouldn't
have to be an either/or proposition. With DevPartner Java. Edition,
you can have the best of both worlds. DevPartner is a suite of
development productivity tools that speeds development of reliable,
high-performance Java applications and components. Driven by the
first-to-market Java and web architecture, DevPartner delivers new and
improved detailed analysis capabilities.

Today's multi-tier e-business applications combine many different,
complex technologies, and are prone to problems with runtime
performance, memory utilization, and multi-threading. DevPartner helps
developers resolve these problems quickly and easily to produce robust
Java applications. Development and QA teams are typically responsible
for the complete project, and DevPartner is uniquely positioned in the
Java market in that it provides the entire end-to-end view; across
n-tiers all seen on one desktop.

Whether your applications are running on a single machine or across
multiple computers in a distributed environment, DevPartner gives you
the capabilities you need to deliver high-quality Java applications.
DevPartner automates a variety of Java development productivity tasks,
including:

* distributed application analysis
* memory analysis
* performance analysis
* code coverage analysis
* thread deadlock detection.

What's new in release 3.3

The new customizable transaction breakdown feature elevates
performance analysis to a higher view of an application. This feature
will show how each module of an application contributes to the
response time for a transaction.

* Transaction breakdown
* Object retention
* Session comparison
* JUnit integration
* Support for JDK 5.0

New features and enhancements

The addition of the new transaction breakdown feature brings
performance analysis to a higher level. It identifies systematic
performance problems in the different modules of your application.
These problems can't be uncovered by simply looking at the slowest
lines of code. For each transaction, the time spent in Servlet/JSP,
EJB, JDBC and JMS will be provided. It's also possible to define
custom categories and find out how each module of an application
contributes to the response time.

Object retention analysis will make memory leak analysis become a
repeatable process. DevPartner's unique technology allows developers
to uncover those objects that stay in memory for a long time without
being used. The analysis is entirely automated and reduces the false
positive to a minimum. This feature tracks down small leaks during
development, which often times become serious at deployment and can
bring an entire application down.

The new session comparison functionality allows developers to compare
two different DevPartner Java sessions to measure the impact of a code
change on performance and code coverage analysis.

DevPartner Java Edition 3.3 will enhance unit testing by providing a
consolidated view that combines code coverage and JUnit test results.
