dotTrace

dotCover 2023.1, dotMemory 2023.1, dotPeek 2023.1, and dotTrace 2023.1 have been released and are ready for download!  Let’s take a look at the most important updates for these tools. dotTrace The standalone version of dotTrace is now available on Linux and macOS as Beta. You can perform the full profiling workflow on these operating systems, including collecting and analyzing performance snapshots. dotMemory During this release cycle, the team focused their efforts on performance improvements and bug fixes for dotMemory. Here are the 2 most notable updates for vers

With the ReSharper tools 2023.1 Early Access Program (EAP) 5 release, we also made the standalone version of the dotTrace performance profiler available on macOS and Linux – for both x64 and ARM64 processors. You can now use dotTrace as a standalone tool to profile your .NET Core, Mono and Unity applications on all three major operating systems. In this blog post, let’s look at how you can get started with dotTrace on macOS. Note that for Windows and Linux, the workflow will be similar. Download dotTrace for your platform To download dotTrace standalone, you can use the JetBrains To

It’s that time, again! The software development industry at large starts the new year with a retrospective of the previous. Just like during our software development projects. We at JetBrains run the Developer Ecosystem Survey yearly to capture the zeitgeist of the development world. While the survey covers many languages and technologies, this recap focuses on C#. Enjoy the results and commentary of the survey! VIEW THE FULL REPORT Top C# Discoveries .NET overall continues to be a solid platform for many types of applications and companies. While C# 11 is the current version, it w

You can develop fairly efficient applications straight away without a profiler, but if you work with third-party code via API, then bottlenecks will occur quite often. It is impossible to predict, but it is still possible to account for third-party code specifics without having the code itself. One story like this was shared by Jonas Meer in this interview. Hi Jonas! Could you briefly introduce yourself and tell us about the work you are involved in? I work at a small startup called aurivus. So I do many things there, but mainly I'm a software developer in .NET and sometimes in C++. I

dotMemory is a .NET memory profiler by JetBrains. My name is Ilya and I help develop the tool. I'd like to tell you a classical dogfooding story of how we optimized one of dotMemory's algorithms by using our own tools – dotMemory and dotTrace. We then improved it some more using dotTrace, and finished off the optimization process by using BenchmarkDotNet. I’d like to thank the authors of two articles, 1 and 2, which inspired me to share this story. It all began when a colleague messaged me in Slack about a problem he was experiencing with the dominator tree in dotMemory. The data

Today, we would like to share a few user stories about using the dotTrace performance profiler. We will tell you how a flaw was found in the new Intel CPUs' architecture, as well as how to find application performance problems when testing in the conventional sense is impossible. We’ll also share some tips and tricks and explain why you should use profilers more often than you probably do. Hi, Kevin! Could you briefly introduce yourself and tell us about the work activities you are mainly involved in? I have been working as a staff engineer at Datadog for a bit more than a year now. Th

The recording of our webinar, Profiling and Fixing Common Performance Bottlenecks, with Steve Desmond, is now available. Subscribe to our community newsletter to receive notifications about future webinars. Performance is paramount when it comes to user experience. Studies have shown that faster apps lead to better outcomes, while slow sites lose customers and sales. So why are there so many poorly performing systems out there? As with all software development, performance optimization is part science, part art. Knowing where to look for problems and knowing how to fix them are equal

dotTrace has long been our go to tool for performance profiling, helping you diagnose bottlenecks and performance problems in all types of managed code. In the 2021.2 release, we now support profiling native applications in Windows.

We are conducting a study on how our profilers are used and how they help resolve performance or memory issues. We invite all dotTrace and dotMemory users to take part. Keep reading for more details! SHARE A STORY What should I do? The whole process consists of just a few steps: Fill out and submit a short qualification questionnaire. It should not take much time. If you meet our requirements, we will send you a set of questions and schedule an online meeting. Take part in a 60-minute interview. We will prepare materials and come back to you for final approval before publishing. When

Longtime users of dotTrace and dotMemory may have noticed the brand new home screen that ships with version 2021.1. The change comes as part of our goal to make our products the best profiling tools on the market for all major desktop platforms (we're using Avalonia to make this cross-platform UI a reality). We redesigned the user interfaces to help developers jump right into a profiling session. Both products share some UI design elements that should help users transition seamlessly between the two profiling products. Not only do the UI's look similar, but dotTrace and dotMemory will share t

Get out your dirndl and lederhosen - it's that time of year again! We're excited to be sponsoring Hacktoberfest 2020. Hacktoberfest is an opportunity for contributors worldwide to give back to their favorite projects in the form of pull-requests. In this blog post, you will find out what Hacktoberfest is, as well as a nice surprise by JetBrains. But there's more! We'll share types of activities you can contribute, and a list of .NET projects that need your help. Let's start at the beginning... 📯 Hacktoberfest For those unfamiliar with Hacktoberfest, here are the basic rules of particip

In this post, we’d like to share our plans for ReSharper 2020.3 and find out what we can do next to improve your development experience. Your feedback is always welcome! The following is a list of our priorities for the next release cycle of 2020.3. Note that these are features we’re working on – as opposed to features scheduled for delivery. Some of these might come with later versions. .NET and C# – Support for new platform and language features, like top-level statements or target-typed new expressions. We will extend our support for nullable reference types (NRT), for instance with a dedi
