Case Study: The Test Factory achieves code-level diagnostics and improved production performance with AppDynamics

The Test Factory uses AppDynamics to replace New Relic for deeper and more accurate insight into their .NET application stacks hosted in Azure

The Test Factory provides online assessment and testing workflow tools for corporate and education customers, running a C#, .NET and SQL Server stack in Azure. While using New Relic, their engineering team could detect performance problems but lacked the deep diagnostic data needed to reproduce and fix issues in production, making debugging and SLA delivery difficult.

After deploying AppDynamics, they gained quick, low‑overhead, code‑level visibility with automatic discovery and transaction snapshots across staging and production. This enabled rapid root‑cause detection, prefiltered bottlenecks using synthetic staging traffic, improved application performance, and helped the team reliably meet SLAs and enhance the user experience.
