Method Statistics Table
Overview
The Method Statistics Table allows one to view profiling data about particular methods and is useful in identifying time consuming methods in an application.
The Methods Statistics Table allows one to determine which particular methods are most frequently executed and those that have the longest execution time. Once these methods have been identified, effort can be focused on optimizing these methods. After making changes, the application can be profiled again and differences in performance measured. This optimization process is likely to be iterative, but the class method statistics allows you to approach this in a systematic and scientific way. However, in order for the test results to be repeatable and valid comparisons made, the test environment should be the same for each test. We suggest that all other applications be closed, and that each individual test be run multiple times to reduce the probability of getting spurious results.
The Method Statics Table contains the following information:
- Class Names
- Method Names
- Delta icon
- Package (not displayed by default)
- Base Time
- Average Base Time
- Cumulative Time
- Calls
