Why Software Tracing?
Software tracing combined with powerful visualization allows for unprecedented insight. Improve productivity and quality in your software development, reduce project risks and time-to-market.
Source code alone does not give the full picture of how multitasking software systems actually behave in run-time. The real-time behavior also depend on many other factors, like the timing of your tasks and interrupts, their interactions and inputs. With a sophisticated tracing tool like Tracealyzer, you get much better insight into the run-time world of your system and accelerate your development, debugging and validation.

- Faster Troubleshooting
Percepio® Tracealyzer allows for capturing errors which otherwise can be very hard to reproduce and analyze. Many embedded software problems can be solved in a fraction of the time otherwise required. - Better Software Quality
Discover and avoid risks in your code. Tracealyzer gives you a better understanding of the system, so when designing new features, you can avoid unsuitable designs that could cause problems related to the real-time behavior and resource usage. - Better Performance
Find new ways of improving the embedded software performance. There might be “low hanging fruits”, where small changes in task timing may give substantial performance improvements.
- Control system tuning
Control system developers can benefit from the support for plotting custom application data, what we call user events. Plot sensor inputs, actuator outputs and correlate with the software execution to better understand performance issues. - Other benefits
Tracealyzer makes it easier to understand complex software, e.g. 3rd party software from suppliers or open-source projects. This also helps new team members to learn the big picture of your code and become productive faster.
