AQtime is a performance profiler and memory and resource debugging toolset developed by AutomatedQA for Microsoft, CodeGear, Intel, Compaq and GNU compilers.

Uses

AQtime is used for multiple optimization tasks to improve application performance and memory usage. It does sophisticated application performance analysis of function execution time down to the individual source code lines. It tracks performance issues and memory leaks. It analyzes resource usage and function call, order. It monitors code coverage, Windows API compliance and includes other profilers for analyzing more application properties.

Integration

AQtime provides direct integration with TestComplete, test automation system from AutomatedQA, and ABS, an automated build and release management system from AutomatedQA. AQtime has deep integration with Visual Studio, Borland Developer Studio, Visual Studio Team System that allows analyzing the application without leaving the development environment.

Main Features

"Managed & Unmanaged Code Support" – AQtime supports all existing compilers that generate MSIL code and can profile executables created with any of the development tools.

"Integration with Microsoft Visual Studio and Borland Developer Studio" – This feature gives full control over AQtime without leaving the IDE.

"Comprehensive Analysis of Application Performance" – AQtime includes the Performance profiler to analyze the application's performance.

"Comparison and Merging of Results" – these are two significant result management features which help quickly compare results against an unlimited number of test runs and merge multiple test results to significantly reduce the amount of time spent during testing.

"Integrated Source Code Editor" - allows browsing the project's source code directly from AQtime.

"Open, Extensible Architecture" – AQtime is a programmable debugger with entirely open COM-based architecture.

Profiler Types included in AQtime:

*Performance profiler – searching for bottlenecks and their causes.
*Allocation profiler - traces memory usage within the applications.
*Resource profiler - follows how an application uses Windows resources.
*Coverage profiler - reports the function or line was executed during the application run.
*Static Analysis profiler – shows methods existing in the application, where they are called from in the source code and what they call in turn.
*Sequence Diagram Link profiler – analyzing of the sequence of function calls in the application and then building a UML-style diagram of function calls in Microsoft Word or Microsoft Visio.
*Platform Compliance profiler – reporting what Windows versions support the API calls in the source.
*Exception Trace profiler - monitoring the application execution and tracking down an application exception.
*Function Trace profiler - tracing the routine calls during the profiler run and logs call stacks for each call.
*Load Library Tracer profiler - detecting which libraries are loaded and unloaded too often.
