Alex Zhitnitsky at Takipi blog has put together a list of five popular error tracking tools and tested their performance in a common debugging routine. The comparison is designed to see how each tool integrates with Java and differentiate its stand-out features.
Rapid deployment in distributed computing environments puts new pressure on error tracking and debugging, which has led to a new class of tools:
With the Java ecosystem going forward, web applications serving growing numbers of requests and users’ demand for high performance – comes a new breed of modern development tools. A fast paced environment with rapid new deployments requires tracking errors and gaining insight to an application’s behavior on a level traditional methods can’t sustain.
