Unfortunately the release date (if there was ever an official date given) slipped to after the conference date. I will try the next time to cover more of the tools and less of the slides so that one can relate better with the concepts introduced and described in abstract form. Please note that this (runtime diagnostics) is still an area that is maturing and that we will not see commercial and enterprise level delta analysis support in tools until the new year. Hopefully we will be the first with an implementation that delivers on the promise and that we can reduce the IQ entry level requirements, ;-). A good website for an introduction into delta analysis but more so in the context of flow and less so in the context of runtime state is: http://www.whyprogramsfail.com Kind regards, William Louth JXInsight Product Architect CTO, JINSPIRED "Performance Management and Problem Diagnostics for Java EE, SOA, and Grid Computing" http://www.jinspired.com Hi,

So what was the point of having a SOA performance testing class in the first place if this is his opinion? regards, William Louth JXInsight Product Architect CTO, JINSPIRED "Performance Management and Problem Diagnostics for Java EE, SOA, and Grid Computing" http://www.jinspired.com “I can summarize the entire hour in the following sentence: SOA is not a well-defined industry standard, but even so, it doesn’t mean much to a performance tester because the things we have to test don’t really change.”
