Using dynaTrace for measuring the performance

The dynaTrace AJAX Edition is a widely used tool for building optimized and faster web 2.0 applications. dynaTrace helps in analyzing problems in JavaScript, network requests, page load performance, and so on. dynaTrace provides support for Internet Explorer and Firefox web browsers.

When you monitor an application with dynaTrace, it analyzes the application and finds problems while providing detail metrics about the application's performance on various levels. It also provides optimization recommendations automatically. dynaTrace provides support for various testing tools including the Selenium WebDriver, where we can combine dynaTrace with tests.

In this recipe, we will set up dynaTrace to capture the various performance metrics using a Selenium WebDriver test.
