  About Application Expert  
  Application Expert helps you quickly find and resolve application performance issues. In addition, its prediction capabilities show you exactly how changes in network bandwidth, latency, load, and TCP window size will affect each end-user's response time.  
     
  Clearly what's happening at each stage of an application's operation over a network. Using its ability to analyze problems at the application thread level, you can answer such questions as, "Is the client making unneeded requests to the database server?" or "Is the application server taking an unacceptably long time to contact the database server after it receives a query from the client?" Each thread of network activity is analyzed individually and presented in a format that application managers, network managers, developers and testers can understand.  
     
  Application Expert provides the ability to view important information about each request/reply exchange (such as the number of frames and bytes, duration, sequencing of threads) and gaps in between, in an easy-to-understand Gantt chart. This information helps with quickly identifying intra-application dependencies.
