IntelliTrace
IntelliTrace is a feature of Visual studio Ultimate that enables application debugging using a historical execution log. This course explores how to use IntelliTrace to enhance interactive debugging sessions, as well as how to leverage IntelliTrace as a postmortem debugger in testing environments (using the Microsoft Test Manager) and on production systems. Several advanced topics such as CLR profiler integration and collection plan tuning are also explored in depth.
