Profiling is used to help fix performance problems by means of running the application and keeping track of what was executed, how many times and for how long.

Deprecated: Since GeneXus 16 upgrade 8. Replaced by Code Coverage and Profiling.

Follow these basic steps to profile your application:

1. Change to Performance Test mode

Important:

  • This feature only applies to objects without an interface, as Procedures or Data Providers. Otherwise, the results could be distorted by time interface.
  • The profiler uses a port number to establish a connection with GeneXus. In case of connection problems see GeneXus Debugger and Profiling common issues
