Visual Expert combines Application Statistics and Code Analysis

Visual Expert combines statistics generated during the execution of your application, with an in-depth analysis of your code.

As a result, your exploration of the code is augmented with the response time of PowerBuilder objects, methods, functions, events, and SQL Queries.

Improving Application Performance

If you're tasked to perform a code review to improve performance, you need to find a place to start:
large applications may include thousands of objects, and you can hardly check them all one by one...

Slowest Code

Visual Expert helps you to troubleshoot performance issues by listing the slowest objects, methods, events, functions, procedures, etc.

Slowest PowerBuilder Code

Cumulated Execution Time

From another angle, you can also find the objects with the highest cumulative execution time. Saving µs on frequently used features will make a big difference to your users

Cumulated Exexution Time

Call Graph Execution Time

Start your investigation under the angle of the application feature users complain about:

  • Visual Expert displays the chain of calls executed behind a feature.
  • It shows the average execution time of each item.
  • You can then identify bottlenecks and improve the corresponding objects.

PowerBuilder Profiling New

Once a slow object has been identified, launch a profiling session for deeper analysis.

Visual Expert displays the functions and lines of code at the origin of performance problems.

Get Query Execution Plan

Fetch a detailed view of the query execution process within your DB. No need to revisit your DB manager for the execution plan.

Add Missing Indexes

Indexes speed up SQL queries, but poor configuration can degrade performance. Their creation depends on SQL code, which changes as the application evolves. Visual Expert automates this task by analyzing database code and schemas, detecting missing indexes to optimize response times.
