Chapter 5: Application Profiling and Tracing
Application profiling is the internal examination of the inner workings of a computer program. We use application profiling to measure the performance of a program's internals. This helps us to identify any performance bottlenecks and memory issues. Then, we can use this information to refactor and improve the performance of the program.
Application tracing is used to monitor the internal performance of a computer program as it is running. You can trace the execution of your computer program during development, testing, and when released into production.
When used together, application profiling and application tracing can be very powerful and useful in identifying why computer programs are slow.
In this chapter, you will learn how to profile your applications to identify any poor areas of performance. You will come to understand code metrics and how to perform static code analysis. In your drive to write more performant code...
