Visualize, Debug and Profile Executing Code

Generated Outputs

Outputs generated by the Visual Execution Analyzer benefit the development process by:

• Giving you a better understanding of how your system works
• Enabling you to document system features automatically
• Providing information on the sequence of events that lead to erroneous events or unexpected system behavior.

 

Analysis tools provided by the Visual Execution Analyzer can be used to:

• Generate Sequence diagrams, recording live execution of an application or specific call stacks. Visualize how multiple instances of each class interact at run-time
• Derive State Transition diagrams, illustrating changes in data structures
• Dynamically build Object diagrams as you control a debug session. Selectively add objects with their run-state information and their relationships to other objects
• Create Profiler reports, showing application sequences and operation call frequency
• Optimize existing system resources and understand resource allocation
• Ensure that the system is following the rules as designed
• Produce high quality documentation that accurately reflects system behavior
• Understand how and why systems and existing code work
• Train new employees in the structure and function of a system
• Identify costly or unnecessary function calls
• Illustrate interactions, data structures and important relationships within a system
• Trace problems to a specific line of code, system interaction or event
• Visualize why a sequence of events is important
• Establish the sequence of events that occur immediately prior to system failure
• Debug .Net, C++ and Java applications, including remote debugging and support of Android physical devices and emulator using the JDWP protocol.
