80s & 90s Applications Were Internal to the Company
Employees were trained on an application and called help desk with problems.
 Employees were trained on
applications and knew the “rules” of
the business
 Calls centers were really SME centers
 *crash*!, So how is the weather in
Greenbay? Packers doing well this
year!

4. 4 © 2015 CA. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
Enter 20xx, Rise of Consumers
Applications went into the consumers hands - no training, no help desk.
 Errors are presented in the most
graceful way possible
 Increase in customer churn from 2.5%
to 5.0% means that business is 50%
smaller in 5 years
 Spend more time preventing these
errors than trying to recover fast is the
best strategy
*crash*!

Introducing CA Continuous Application Insight
Discover paths and capture transactions.
Visualize transaction details and gain insight.
Automate virtual service creation and test automation.

8. 8 © 2015 CA. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
CA CAI addresses critical DevTest challenges
Architectural complexity, lack of
transaction details, inadequate
documentation causes inefficient
development and testing.
Poor root cause analysis prevents
debugging and results longer time to
repair.
Too much manual effort in test
automation and constraints removal
with stubs and mocks.
End-to-End Transaction Discovery – enables
thorough analysis by breaking down architectural
and structural complexity of applications
Actionable Insights – helps diagnose the right issues,
so you are not solving the wrong problems
Automate your Automation – automates virtual
service and test case creation to eliminate manual
work

Where do we test in a modern application?
Applications are written
from bottom up and top
down in parallel
APIs tend to be written
first (or virtualized), well
before the orchestration
layers or user interfaces
Load Testing at API is
well accepted in
modern application
deployments
