In today's business world, user expectations for application performance are incredibly high. This comes at a time, when, from a developer's standpoint, challenges are constantly growing.

This complimentary white paper outlines 10 ways that developers can use APM to create better applications, including:

• End-user experience monitoring
  Identify problems and performance bottlenecks before they affect the end-user - your employees, clients, and customers
• Application Component Performance Monitoring
  Baseline overall performance and proactively detect unusual behavior through code-level visibility into components such as Java/.NET applications, web servers, middleware, and portals
• Analysis of Multi-Step Transactions
  Discover insights between various components to see where delays occur and improve business transaction completion rates

If you're not actively monitoring application performance, your software quality and performance is suffering. This whitepaper addresses why, and shows how Riverbed’s APM suite can help.
