ABOUT JDBINSIGHT
JDBInsight is an innovative enterprise development product, aimed at simplifying the performance tuning and testing of J2EE applications, which access data through the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) API. JDBInsight analyses the access of enterprise data by J2EE client-, web-, and bean containers. The analysis can encompass transaction executions, from multiple J2EE containers. JDBInsight captures timing and execution information for enterprise data accessed by Servlets, JavaServer Pages, Session- and Entity Beans using JDBC or an Entity Bean using a container's persistence engine. JDBInsight can also profile non-J2EE applications that access enterprise data through the JDBC API.

JInspired located in Ireland, delivers JDBInsight, a comprehensive solution for Application Performance Tuning and Testing that focuses directly on early identification within the development and testing lifecycle. JInspired offers sophisticated analytical tools, that capture transactional behaviour and performance timing information, across multiple containers in a single console, and presents this information intuitively to the user "Visualizing the Invisible".
