Archiving the Eclipse Test & Performance Tools Platform Trace and Profiling Tools sub-Project

Created by Kathy Chan

Project Description

  • Eclipse Project: tptp.performance
  • The Trace and Profiing Tools Project is a sub project in the Eclipse TPTP top-level project, it addresses the trace and profiling phases of the application lifecycle. The Trace and Profiling Tools Project provides frameworks for building tracing and profiing tools by extending the TPTP Platform. The framework contains views, dialogs and action items that support the capability of collecting and analyzing application performance information. The project includes exemplary profiling tools for both single-system and distributed Java applications through monitoring agents that collects trace and profile data. A generic tool kit for customizable probe insertion is also available.
