Walkthrough - Collecting Performance Data

Related Topics

The first step in profiling is to collect performance data by running your program under Quantify.

Before you begin, make sure that debug data is available for your program. If you are profiling a native-compiled (unmanaged) program, relocation data is also necessary.

As your program runs, Quantify displays the Run Summary window so you can monitor the activity of threads and fibers. When you have completed your testing, exit your program. Quantify displays the data it has collected.

Instructions for collecting data

Specific instructions depend on the programming language and the environment.

.NET managed code, from the following environments

§          Visual Studio

§          Quantify standalone

§          command line

Native (unmanaged) Visual C++, from the following environments:

§          Quantify standalone

§          command line

Visual Basic, from the following environments:

§          Visual Studio (for Visual Basic .NET programs)

§          Quantify standalone

§          command line

Note: 

§      You can collect performance data for all programming languages in the Visual Studio environment by using the Quantify Run Program dialog box.
