The new 2014 Compuware (News - Alert) APM Benchmarks have been announced by Compuware. The technology performance company has enhanced and modernized the benchmarks so that companies are better able to measure the performance of their entire digital experience.
These benchmarks also help companies to compare this performance against industry competitors and peers.
Technology has changed the way people shop for products and this has led to an increase in the popularity of mobile sites and mobile apps.
“The mission to provide a great digital experience has quickly transformed from a focus on desktop browsers and websites, to one where visitors have the ability to move between mobile and web channels without noticing a major shift in the user experience,” said Steve Tack, vice president of Product Management for Compuware APM (News - Alert)'s business unit.
Compuware APM Benchmarks are based on a well-defined set of online transactions and home page measurements. These tools help users to effectively analyze the performance best practices used by industry leaders and competitors.
Compuware's mobile network provides users with the platform enabling them to both measure and compare the mobile experience of all benchmark participants across 3G and 4G LTE (News - Alert) networks.
These benchmarks compare participants based on a diverse set of measurements. The company has upgraded its Compuware Performance Network and added the Chrome browser to its Internet-testing range that includes Firefox and Internet Explorer.
"While our comparative performance benchmarks have been a cornerstone for developing and executing a performance optimization strategy, we recognized the need to provide a greater level of performance analysis across the entire digital experience to model the way today's users are accessing critical business applications," added Tack.
Compuware was in the news last month for announcing financial results for its third quarter; fiscal year 2014 ended December 31, 2013.
