Baseline conditions: You have a server running a .NET web application. It appears the application has an issue: It doesn't work as fast as expected, it consumes more and more memory over time, it has any other performance/memory issue of your choice, whatever. It doesn’t really matter what exact iss…
Though dotMemory Unit is not part of the ReSharper Ultimate bundle, in this release dotMemory Unit 3.0 is provided with ReSharper 2017.3. What’s in this release? .NET Core 2.0 support You’ve asked us to add support for .NET Core for quite a while. Now, with the more mature and stable .NET Core 2.0…
The latest major release brought many important changes to the entire family of ReSharper Ultimate tools. In this post, let's take a close look at what has changed in dotTrace 2017.3. Support for async/await The most important update in dotTrace 2017.3 is its support for asynchronous code. The d…
Like all other products in the ReSharper Ultimate lineup, dotCover gets its set of improvements in the 2017.3 release. Let's check them out. Improved Show Covering Statements action Before 2017.3, after you used Show Covering Tests (Ctrl+Alt+K,T) in the editor, the popup window showed a list of …
When you explore a memory snapshot, it's never easy to find the object you need. A typical application operates millions of objects, which means a memory profiler must offer adequate searching capabilities. Before dotMemory 2017.3, object set views provided only basic string search. Now, you can mak…
C# provides language-level support for asynchronous programming, allowing developers to create applications with a responsive UI with minimum effort. The introduction of the async/await syntactic sugar in .NET Framework 4.5 has also significantly eased writing asynchronous code. One of the downsi…
Continuous testing (CT) is a super-helpful feature but only under one condition: sufficient performance. Unfortunately, in dotCover 2017.1 and earlier, CT could be a real pain on large and very large solutions (30+ projects). The problem lies in three performance-critical phases of CT (actually, thi…
A while ago, along with ReSharper 2016.3, we released a plugin that added a set of interactive tutorials to ReSharper. Starting with 2017.2, the tutorials are not a plugin anymore but an integral part of ReSharper. Select ReSharper | Help | Tutorials… Choose a tutorial and click Run. Fol…
Support for raw memory dumps was probably the most voted and long-awaited dotMemory feature. Finally, it's available in dotMemory 2017.2! Indeed, there are cases when it's impossible to profile a problematic application locally or remotely and take a regular dotMemory snapshot for analysis (e.g.,…
In the 2017.1 release, dotMemory introduced a console profiler. Now, using the dotMemory.exe tool, you can perform memory profiling from the command line. Why would you? The short answer would be to automate the process of gathering memory snapshots. There are lots of possible use cases: You wan…
Right after dotCover 2016.3 introduced a new way to highlight code coverage (markers in the gutter instead of colored backgrounds), we immediately got a flurry of “Bring it back!” comments. Indeed, there is a range of tasks where the “old-style” highlighting could be more useful, e.g. when you need …
As you may remember, along with ReSharper 2016.3 we released a special plugin entitled "ReSharper Tutorials." In brief, it's a plugin with a set of interactive ReSharper tutorials. Here's how it works: When you launch a tutorial, a sample solution is loaded. The tutorial guides you through a n…
