Use Cases

Apica Use Cases enable specific business value using your existing license model for standard, advanced, and desktop application checks. The following use cases are achieveable through the use of Apica Synthetic Monitoring Platform:

Use Case Title

Description and Readiness

Products Used

API Tests

Basic calls to APIs - single or multiple object grabs or posts

API Tools - Postman/URL-Xi

DNS Checks and Service changes (Super GSLB)

Ability to determine health of DNS infrastructure and modify downstream DNS services via API for functions such as GSLB modifications based on health of the system

Built-in DNS

User-Journey Checks (Full-Page Renders)

Ability to render full browser pages, including all URLs and select various objects to render and select in the process (this is our biggest seller)

Browser Checks and Selenium

Network Performance Monitoring (NPM)

Early stages - we could use SSH checks to query actual network elements, ICMP to check health and latency, etc… no way today to look at flow data, but we have the ability to be a probe and collect TCPDUMPs.

Application Performance Monitoring (APM)

Microsoft 365

Initial Phase with guided setup to enable full M365 monitoring through the usage of DAC checks. No GUI changes required in the initial phase.

DAC

Mobile Device Emulation

The ability to use DAC to emulate a smart device on screen and tap through various scenarios and offer functions such as SMS MFA. Can control all aspects of an application via a Windows Server environment.

DAC

Real Mobile Device Tests

Ability to use DAC or ZT to control actual mobile devices and appliances to simulate user behaviors

DAC and ZT

Mobile Device Replays

DAC and ZT

Robotic Process Automations (RPA)

SSH Command Checks

Load-Testing

Database Testing and Monitoring

Querying performance across databases for MQ, JDBC, MongoDB, MySQL, SQL, IBM DB2, Oracle. Could be used to test across infrastructure types (migrations and performance parity), oscillate DB size ($ savings),

Functional Testing

Continuous Security Testing

Multi-Infrastructure Testing

IoT Device Testing

IoT Monitoring

VOD Streaming

Live Streaming

Conference Call Monitoring

Telemetry Aggregator

Application Cost Analysis

Infrastructure Cost Analysis

Non-Functional Testing

Script Workflow Automation

Ability to use a script for multiple checks for various environment variables, such as, lower environments, hosts, apps, etc. We can do this by using ZT dictionary.

Continuous Integration/Delivery

Citrix Workspace

Mainframes

Orchestration Integration

Spider website nightly

Spider (crawl) website nightly to catalogue docs & create checks

PDF or Report CheckSum

Files Upload

SFTP/FTP

SSH - SCP

ZT/Scripted Checks

Net New Workflow Automation

Alert/Incident Workflow Automation

HTTP2

ZT/Selenium/URLv2

GWT Serialization & Deserialization

Web service security SOAP messages

Sign and Encrypt Plugin for Request Content. Decrypt and Content Verify Plugin for Response Content

Message Queue Plugin for sending Payloads to the Queue

Credentials Manager

Retrieve encrypted username/password from API then plugin will decrypt data to be used in the proxysniffer script. To store username/password to server run plugin from command line and pass necessary parameters. Batch process encrypting/updating password. BEFORE USING: Replace the value for "KEY" with some password key and "AUTH_TICKET_PROD" with customer's own API auth_ticket.

ActiveMQ Support

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

MFA
