With Telerik’s Q2 2011 release cycle, JustTrace is out of beta and commercially available. It features a modern and intuitive user interface to profile your application’s memory usage and performance. To celebrate the release, it’s being offered at 50% off for a limited time. A fully-functioning 60-day trial is available, and it comes with Telerik’s well-known, dedicated support.

Telerik is also well-known for its documentation, and it’s available to get you started. If you want to get going quickly, you can enable profiling directly from within Visual Studio and view the live data. You can then take performance snapshots and compare them.

At times, you may need to run things outside of Visual Studio. The standalone GUI allows you to access previous snapshots, previous profiling sessions, and start a new session. It’s very handy for profiling Windows Services or applications running in IIS.

Here’s what the standalone GUI looks like:

The tab well on the left contains session or snapshots from a session. It’s handy in case you’re working with multiple sessions or applications. The top left panel contains the button to begin a session and a history of recently profile applications. They can be accessed to start another session with the same information as before. The bottom left panel contains a snapshot history. If you have snapshots saved elsewhere, you can access them as well with the Open Snapshot button. This is useful when having another team member analyze the results from a session. The scenario where one might do this is easy to imagine: performance issues are occurring on one developer box and not others.

The right side contains shortcuts for documentation, the included example application, and to update JustTrace.

Here’s what a snapshot looks like:

With this performance snapshot, you can quickly find methods that are underperforming or doing too much work.
