Benefits of Using Analyze
AdminStudio 2021 | 21.0 | Application Manager
Edition:Application Manager is included with AdminStudio Professional and Enterprise Editions.
Using Analyze, you can execute a broad range of compatibility, validation and conflict tests; manage and remediate issues; and monitor overall status in a single location.
Using Analyze provides the following benefits:
| • | Full suite of tests—When using Analyze, with a single click you can simultaneously test groups of Windows Installer, App-V, Apple iOS, and Google Android packages for operating system compatibility, MSIX Conversion Compatibility, best practices, risk assessment, and application virtualization compatibility. You can also quickly perform conflict analysis between source and target packages/operating systems using a streamlined Conflict Wizard. |
| • | Web application testing—Web applications can be tested for browser compatibility both statically (by automatically crawling through the pages of the application) and dynamically (by launching the web application and testing those pages that are visited by the tester as they click through the site). |
| • | Efficient issue resolution—In Analyze, you can manage the resolution of issues efficiently. You can filter results by test group. With one click, you can automatically resolve a single set of issues, groups of issues, or all issues. You can also suppress issues that the packaging manager feels should not be resolved. |
| • | Test run optimization—When you initiate testing, Analyze checks to see which of the selected tests have already been run on the selected applications. If an application’s packages or associated transform files have not changed, Analyze will run only those tests which have not yet been run. This enables you to halt testing at any time, and restart it later without unnecessarily repeating the run of any of the selected tests. For more information, see Test Run Optimization. |
| • | Integrated into the Application Catalog—Analyze is a fully integrated component of the AdminStudio Application Manager and Application Catalog, which serves as the central repository for applications in all formats. Using the catalog structure, you can execute tests at a package level, an application level, a group level or even across an entire catalog. You can also manage and resolve issues in the same manner, from the same interface, giving you a single place to manage multiple steps of the packaging process. |
| • | Integration with Microsoft ACT database—You can integrate Application Manager Analyze with your Microsoft ACT (Application Compatibility Toolkit) database and display ACT test results. ACT is used to create an inventory of an organization’s installed applications, computers, and devices, and enables you to collect compatibility data. For more information, see Integrating with Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT). |
