Two separate setup installations
To enable the free distribution of recorders (trace agents) and independent tracing for advanced test automation, the program has been divided into two separate setups that run independently from one another.
The installation consists of 2 setups and 1 sample program
1st setup: Just the recorder
2nd setup: Recorder + SpeedTrace client
Both setups can be dowloaded directly from here:

Test automation interface …
SpeedTrace Pro First Preview 3.4 Upgrade thus adds the following new features:
1. TraceAgentService (1st setup) runs independently without SpeedTrace license. So you now have a setup without the graphic configuration and analyzing component.
2. You now also have a test automation interface (2nd setup)!
a) Via Library (Tracing API)
- Recording API
- Analysis API
b) Via Command Line Interface (command files control the recorder)
… enables regular sanity check monitoring
This is only the first part of the features Version 3.4 will eventually have. But the features should come in useful to perform the sanity checks you might want to carry out regularly on your own or your clients’ apps:
(A) Command Line Interface
- The command line interface tool ipcas.SpeedTrace.SpeedTraceTool.exe is located in the folder <SpeedTraceAppDir>\etc.
- A sample command line file (TestJob.txt) is located in the folder <SpeedTraceAppDir>\Samples\Testautomation\viaCLI
(B) Tracing API (Recording & Analysis)
- sample AutomationRecorderTester.csproj can be found in the folder <SpeedTraceAppDir>\Samples\viaAPI\AutomationRecorderTester
We welcome your evaluation feedback …
Since these features are still in the initial stages of testing, we would warmly welcome any suggestions you may have and ask you to report any difficulties the moment they crop up so that we can set things right as soon as possible. Should you have any questions, comments, or wishes, please do not hesitate to contact us at holger.heinrich@ipcas.de or bruce.roberts@ipcas.de
… and offer our fullest support
Of course, you will on request receive our ample support for best practices to profile and trace your app to your best advantage. We’d also be delighted to be able to demonstrate the full scope of SpeedTrace Pro to you and your colleagues and answer any further questions you may have in a cost-free Webinar.
