A dot.NET profiler provides you with the ability to time areas of an application, normally an entire application, so that bottlenecks can be discovered and displayed. Hence, the buzz practice of profiling which means during-runtime performance monitoring of programs developed in dot.NET.
When developing dot.net applications, it is always necessary to take the performance factor into account right from the outset. That is how you can save a lot of costs for rewriting modules, modifying codes, or deploying the same application over and over again.
Developers know as a fact that in order to write good quality codes, it is necessary to make frequent code reviews, testing different ways of implementing them to determine their performance impact on dot.net applications. However, these kind of reviews tend to be slow-going and tedious, thus exponentially increasing development time and sometimes developers’ frustration while organisations face the dual task of having to create software that meets best practice standards and, at the same time, deliver dot.net applications within the set budget on time.
This is where
SpeedTrace dot.net profiler enters the scene and hooks into dot.net applications by scrutinizing calls (enter/exits), JIT compilations, managed and unmanaged code transitions, thread switches, garbage collection, exception handling, data traces, and more ... all during program execution — consequently making developers' lives easier.
There are many dot.net profilers on the market, but not many like SpeedTrace robust enough to work the load of large-scale applications. Dot.net applications tend to grow in complexity, therefore, companies are struggling hard to fulfil the necessary levels of application performance. This applies especially when applications running on multi-core systems are managed and profiled improperly and thus impair the organisation's ability to meet the performance demands of complex applications.
Software quality is closely related to flawless operability which is translated into faultless performance applications. In most cases the failure to use adequate dot.net profiler tools able to quickly provide both accurate and relevant information leads to poor software quality. Therefore, it is important to spend sufficient time and care on performance issues within dot.NET applications since this is what, in the end, will reward you with the most customer satisfaction and business success.
