Objectives
Perform a Multi-User QuickPredict on worst case task from worst case
location
If network can handle this scenario, you are done!
Perform a Multi-User QuickPredict for all transactions for users in:
Four branch offices
Person working from home
Person using wireless card

Conclusion
Paris office needed more bandwidth to support Step 6
Wireless card had worst performance
Even after upgrade, Paris office was not speedy
Most transactions ran fine in all scenarios
Steps 1 and 6 were the problem transactions (predicted in Lab 2!)

Not only is ACE useful for identifying application performance problems, but ACE is also used to
proactively identify production performance problems before an application is rolled into
production.
For example, we would have predicted this exact production problem in the NYC office if we had
used ACE on this application before it was rolled out.
Below on the right is a prediction of the Lab, NYC office, and London office performance. Note
how QuickPredict’s prediction matches AppDoctor’s diagnosis of the production NYC problem.
