• Performance Analysis (Timing)
• Performance Expert (CPU, Disk and Network resource usage)
• Code Coverage Analysis
• Fault Simulation (both .NET and environmental)
• Error Detection and Interop monitoring for C/C++ using BoundsChecker technology.

Each analysis can be configured to show detail at the method or line level.

DevPartner Studio integrates with Visual Studio 6, 2003, 2005, 2008 and 2010 providing toolbar buttons and menu options to access all of the tools. All of the tools can also be run from the command line allowing for automation and Continuous Integrated Testing processes to be set up.^[2]

DevPartner Java Edition (DPJ) integrates a set of functionality enabling developers to analyze Java code for

• Code Quality and Complexity
• Memory Leak Detection
• Memory Profiling and Optimization.
• Performance Profiling and Optimization.
• Thread Analysis and dead-lock detection.
• Code Coverage Analysis.

DPJ can show call graph when troubleshooting an issue, and it can dig into details at method and line level. DPJ integrates with Eclipses 3.2/3.3, OptimalJ, JBuilder, and IBM RAD 6.0 providing menus and tools to access all its functionality. All of the tools can also be run from the command line as well, which enables the possibility of automation and continuous integrations.
