Pace of business change outstrips IT
Intensive troubleshooting fails to stop application errors reaching production, says dynaTrace survey
A third of all application performance issues are not found until software reaches production, despite resources being poured into spotting the issues, according to a survey from dynaTrace.
The report from the Application Performance Management specialist revealed that during the average IT project, almost half of all respondents spend at least 20% of the development time fixing and replicating application issues. This wastes valuable development time identifying, diagnosing and resolving performance and availability issues through the application lifecycle.
In addition, 34% of businesses find that at least one in five of their applications are out of date before they even reach end users, due to changes in business requirements.
“At a time when businesses are looking to become more efficient, their antiquated approach to addressing application performance issues is consuming a massive amount of R&D resources that should be spent innovating,” said Roger Andrews, VP of dynaTrace, EMEA. “What the UK is faced with is a lot of applications that are either late to market, over budget, or lacking all the capabilities needed to delight customers. In many cases, it’s all three.”
“Businesses clearly need a more effective approach to resolving application issues,” he continued. “What’s worrying is that most organisations are identifying performance issues after the development stage. Issues found much later in the application lifecycle are not only much more expensive to resolve, but users are directly affected.”
Virtualisation – an approach growing in popularity – is cited alongside SOA and cloud computing as factors that make improving application performance more complex and time consuming. 50% of respondents stated that the use of virtualised computing environments makes identification of performance issues more difficult. Heterogeneous environments such as JAVA and .NET are the second most challenging factor as noted by 43% of survey participants.
