App-DNA has released AppTitude 4.0, a new version of application compatibility testing product. It includes a new reporting capability for Windows 7 application compatibility, extended support for Microsoft .NET framework-based applications and new support for using VMware to capture installation snapshots.
App-DNA said that the AppTitude assists organisations by eliminating much of the manual testing involved in application assessments and OS migrations, such as Windows 7, and gaining faster testing and conversion of applications to virtualisation formats.
According to App-DNA, the new version includes enhancements to existing features plus newly-added functionality, including: a new Windows 7 Report for AppTitude’s Desktop Compatibility Manager module; extension of AppTitude’s Production Manager to support VMWare images; and integration of AppTitude with the Windows PCA internal database that comes with Windows 7 and Windows Vista for improved reporting accuracy.
In addition, the improved manifestations and remediations across all reports provide enhanced documentation and detail on algorithms, offering improved usability; and new extended attribute import for .NET framework-based applications provide the ability to determine .NET framework dependencies in detail.
Mike Welling, CEO of App-DNA, said: “With the new capabilities in AppTitude 4.0, we have further enhanced the insight we provide into an organisation’s application portfolio. When testers can get the answers they need, it vastly reduces the time, cost and risks associated with deployment of OS migrations, software upgrades, virtualisation and other changes. AppTitude 4.0 provides an even more powerful analytic dashboard for improving application management and supporting long-term planning.”
