As a reminder, the following tools were added in updates to Visual Studio 2013: Of course, you can continue use same great performance tools that were available in Visual Studio 2013.

View network usage and network performance of Universal Windows Projects that make use of the WinRT HttpClient APIs. This replaces the XAML UI Responsiveness tool, which supported Windows Store apps only. View a detailed breakdown of the UI thread performance for WPF and Universal Windows Projects and Windows Store apps. In this release we have added two brand new performance tools: For that reason we continue to make improvements to our traditional diagnostic tools that run without the debugger attached, they are complimentary. The diagnostic tools that run without the debugger provide the comprehensive analysis that is suitable for fine-tuning the Release version of your code, the one that your users get to interact with. When you are debugging your app, there is extra performance overhead that your users do not see. New diagnostic tools and new platform supportДЄt this point you might be wondering if you still need the ability to run diagnostic tools without debugging, and the answer is a definite вЂњyesвЂќ.

For example, you can use the timestamps on Debug.Output statements to determine how long it took for code to progress from one line to another. The events that IntelliTrace captures help you to solve tough correctness bugs quickly, and the extra events give you additional insight into performance issues. For example, we can double click on the exception in the screenshot above to see its call stack even though the exception was handled by the app: IntelliTrace vastly enhances the debugger by automatically capturing interesting events in your application and surfacing them in the Events graph and the Events tab:Д«y double-clicking on an event we take you to source code and show you the call stack at the time the event was collected. In the Enterprise edition of Visual Studio 2015, you will see that we have completely revamped the user interface of IntelliTrace by bringing it into the Diagnostic Tools window.

So far everything we have mentioned is in the FREE Community edition of Visual Studio 2015 (and of course the Professional and Enterprise editions as well). This is something that is not possible when using the Memory Usage tool without the debugger. A great example is the ability to inspect variables when viewing the heap captured by snapshots: You can control program execution and inspect variables to get much better insight into the cause of performance issues.

It is not only easier to measure performance with the debugger, but the added capabilities of the debugger give you more powerful performance analysis tools. If you switch to the memory usage tab, you can take, inspect, and diff memory snapshots while your program is running or is stopped at a breakpoint: The Diagnostic Tools window records the history of all your PerfTips in the Events graph and in the events table, and also allows you to correlate execution time with the CPU and Memory Usage graphs: PerfTips show you how long your app was running when you hit breakpoints and step, all you need to do is look at the end of the current line when you are stopped in the debugger to see the elapsed time: To accomplish that goal, we added PerfTips and the Diagnostic Tools window as default debugger features available to Community, Professional, and Enterprise SKUs. Our goal with Visual Studio 2015 was to lower the bar for collecting performance data, so that everyone can measure performance with minimal effort, and without having to leave their typical workflow. Catch performance issues early using the debugger

In the remainder of this post weвЂ™ll go into the details of these new and exciting features. WeвЂ™ve optimized our menu entries to accommodate all of the new changes.WeвЂ™ve added new platform support: Windows 7, Desktop apps, Universal Windows Projects (UWP), and Azure Web Apps.WeвЂ™ve added new diagnostic tools: Network Usage and Application Timeline.

IntelliTrace is now part of the Diagnostic Tools resulting in a brand new and easier-to-use experience.

The Diagnostic Tools are available while you are debugging: you can view CPU Usage, Memory Usage, take snapshots and time sections of code using PerfTips all without stopping your debug session.

In Visual Studio 2015, we have made the following improvements: In Visual Studio 2013 we introduced the Performance and Diagnostics hub. This blog post summarizes the investments we made to our performance profiling and diagnostic tools in Visual Studio 2015.
