APPLICATION ACCELERATION OVERVIEW

Home > Application Acceleration Overview

BUSINESS CHALLENGES:

In spite of massive investments of money, time, and resources into critical DB2 for z/OS projects, most still run late and far over budget. Plus, overall application quality is poor in spite of strenuous coding and testing efforts.

The SoftBase Application Acceleration Solution enables our customers to code, test, and deploy DB2 for z/OS applications in a fraction of the time that it takes them now.

CODE DB2 SQL FASTER & BETTER

DB/IQ-QA provides Application Developers advice and recommendations that will dramatically accelerate coding of their DB2 SQL Statements. Deploying DB/IQ-QA is a fast, easy three step process:

DBAs customize the DB/IQ-QA knowledgebase to fit their shop's needs
Application Developers then receive nearly 200 great ideas on how to improve their SQL statements as they work
DB/IQ-QA is added to production change control processes to prevent bad DB2 for z/OS SQL from ever reaching production applications again

TEST DB2 APPLICATIONS TOGETHER!

SoftBase's TestBase now provides a revolutionary new patented technology called �Slice� that enables all Application Developers and QA Personnel in a shop to test together within one set of DB2 objects without impacting each others� results. TestBase can dramatically accelerate your DB2 application testing by:

Enabling Application Developers to run far more tests with small subsets of realistic business data from DB2, VSAM and QSAM data sources
Testing together from only one copy of test data - Application Developers can retrieve and refresh their test data whenever they like without having to contact their DBAs!
Satisfying all Data Privacy mandates by quickly removing and replacing any confidential or sensitive test data

DEPLOY APPLICATIONS WITHOUT SURPRISES

SoftBase's Batch Analyzer and TestBase can help you prevent painful performance and application surprises when moving new or enhanced DB2 applications into production. These SoftBase solutions will speed application deployment times by:

Batch Analyzer enables Application Developers to quickly locate any new or changed DB2 SQL statements that will perform excessively long after placed into production - without running expensive DB2 Performance Traces!
TestBase also provides Regression Comparison Reports that confirm all previous DB2 application functionality still works properly - more precisely, application changes have not broken anything that used to work
