Cisco AppDynamics Peak Test & Dev Edition – Term License – 1 License

Designed for development and testing teams, Cisco AppDynamics Peak Test & Dev Edition provides powerful, purpose-built capabilities to simulate peak load conditions, monitor application performance, and uncover bottlenecks before code reaches production. This term-license edition—one license per purchase—fits neatly into your enterprise agreement while delivering the essential features of AppDynamics’ Peak technology in a sandboxed, non-production environment. Whether you’re validating new microservices, optimizing a cloud-native stack, or stress-testing a critical path in a CI/CD pipeline, Peak Test & Dev Edition equips engineers with actionable insights, fast feedback, and confidence that performance issues won’t derail user experiences once features go live. Optimized for DevOps teams and development environments, it helps you align performance goals with business outcomes, reduce mean time to repair, and accelerate innovation with fewer production incidents.

• Unlock peak-load testing for development and QA environments, enabling realistic simulations of traffic spikes to identify bottlenecks early in the software lifecycle.
• Single-license term model simplifies procurement under your Cisco AppDynamics Enterprise Agreement, with clear licensing aligned to your testing needs and project timelines.
• End-to-end visibility across modern stacks, including microservices, containers, and cloud-native architectures, to pinpoint latency sources and optimize resource usage.
• Seamless integration with AppDynamics’ application performance monitoring (APM) toolkit, providing unified dashboards, metrics, and traces for faster root-cause analysis.
• Designed for DevOps and CI/CD workflows, supporting automated testing, reproducible environments, and scalable testing across multiple teams and projects.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What is the primary purpose of the Peak Test & Dev Edition?

  A: The Peak Test & Dev Edition is designed to support performance testing and development workflows. It enables teams to simulate peak loads in non-production environments, identify bottlenecks, validate scalability, and optimize code, queries, and infrastructure before production releases.

• Q: How does licensing work for a 1-license term edition?

  A: The product provides a single active license under a defined term within the Cisco AppDynamics Enterprise Agreement. This setup is well suited for small teams, sandbox environments, or dedicated dev/test workloads that require isolated testing capacity for a limited period.

• Q: Can Peak Test & Dev Edition be upgraded or renewed under an Enterprise Agreement?

  A: Yes. Term licenses can typically be renewed, expanded, or upgraded within the framework of an existing Enterprise Agreement, allowing organizations to scale testing capacity as development needs grow or to extend the testing term as projects progress.

• Q: Is Peak Test & Dev Edition compatible with cloud, on-premises, and container environments?

  A: Yes. The edition is designed to work across modern development environments, including cloud deployments, on-premises data centers, and containerized architectures, ensuring consistent instrumentation and visibility across stacks.

• Q: What kind of insights can I expect from Peak Test & Dev Edition?

  A: Users gain performance analytics focused on peak-load scenarios, including response times, throughput, bottleneck hotspots, resource utilization, and service dependencies. These insights support targeted optimizations before production releases, reducing risk and improving user experiences.
