Profiling

Measure performance aspects of the application to identify bottlenecks.

Load Testing

Load tests consist of a series of Web tests or unit tests to simulate multiple users over a period of time.

Architectural Discovery

Summary: Architectural Discovery

Use dependency graphs to better understand your code

Generate graphs for whole solutionGenerate graphs for include file (C++)It is your diagram, edit it!

Use Architecture Explorer to browse assets and generate customized graphs

Code analysis

“The most important thing I have done as a programmer in recent years is to aggressively pursue static code analysis.  Even more valuable than the hundreds of serious bugs I have prevented with it is the change in mindset about the way I view software reliability and code quality.”“Eventually, I had all the code used to build the 360 executable compiling without warnings with /analyze enabled…This did slow down compiles somewhat, but /analyze is by far the fastest analysis tool I have worked with, and it is oh so worth it.”

--John Carmack Founder and technical director of Id Software
