Rational Announces Latest Version of Quantify
Powerful Performance Profiler Adds Support for Java and Enhances Support For UNIX Developers
CUPERTINO, Calif., July 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Rational(R) Software Corporation (Nasdaq: RATL - news)today announced the newest version of Quantify, a powerful performance profiler that automatically identifies performance bottlenecks and helps developers optimize the performance of their C++ and Java applications on UNIX. Quantify is the ideal tool for developers who want to deploy Java systems without compromising performance.
''Rational is meeting customer needs by providing industry-leading development tools that help increase the speed, ease and accuracy of application development for the UNIX platform,'' stated Pamela Roussos, vice president of product marketing for Rational's Visual Programming business unit. ''Quantify addresses a critical issue customers have with creating enterprise-wide and distributed applications in Java -- performance.''
About Quantify
Quantify enables developers to profile their Java applications and identify performance bottlenecks using a Java monitoring interface developed by Rational in conjunction with Sun Microsystems. Quantify intercepts and times each byte code instruction run through the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and correlates this information with Java source code and components to give developers comprehensive timing information on their entire Java application. Quantify's customizable performance data collection features allow developers to filter the performance data collected, allowing them to focus on the most critical portions of their application.
Using Rational's patented Object Code Insertion (OCI) technology, Quantify already supports C/C++ profiling and the added Java support allows developers to profile and optimize mixed language applications. Quantify works with any development environment utilizing the JavaSoft JVM release 1.1.6 for Java on Solaris and is available in July 1998 at a North American list price of $1,398 plus $250 for support (minimum four licenses).
