Total environment simulation – Workload Replay in an agile world
Is your production cloning for development/testing a quick and fully automated procedure? Does it consider differences of the underlying hardware and does it allow to choose and automatically run SQL workloads? Maybe your Db2 cloning needs an upgrade! By using a highly customizable XML script and by exploiting virtualization features we can make a clone YOUR clone and even make it behave like production. However, most importantly SQL Capture/Replay fills the gap of automatically running your production workload for testing. It captures production SQL 24/7 by exploiting highly efficient IFCID-via-OPx technology and it filters and prepares statements for replay. This enables shops to capture any SQL being ever executed and keep them in sets of workloads to be selected for testing. As an integrated part of Db2 cloning, this adds up to a comprehensive cloning solution, not only for objects and data, but even for production workloads. Learn how to integrate individual task for flexible automation and how to choose from four different levels of testing. The levels include simple anomaly alerting, access path verification, cloning and workload capture/replay to easily discover different behavior resulting from changes, like new application releases, or environment upgrades. Find out how easily you can pick and choose from KPI based test automation.
