Challenge

• This major exchange was porting several large back-end clearing systems from mainframes to J2EE technology
• These applications are performance critical and must perform flawlessly under the anticipated peak load
• This client was also trying to establish development & testing best practices for current and future J2EE projects

Solution

• Redpoint performed a thorough review of the existing client source code and identified critical bugs and areas for improvement
Detailed performance testing was used to isolate and optimize "hot spots" in each of the applications Redpoint documented a set of recommendations for improving the J2EE development process for the client

Results

• Issues identified during the technical review were able to be fixed before the clearing applications went into production
• This client now has a practical methodology for testing and measuring the performance of J2EE applications
