Exploring the Call Traces View

When analyzing your application’s memory usage, it is helpful to view data from several different perspectives. If you noticed steep increases in the heap usage at certain points, a method might be allocating a large number of objects. The Call Traces view offers you a different way of looking at object allocations. This can help you to determine if a method is over-allocating objects in your code.

Note This view is not available if you have set the Investigate By option to Heap Count or Heap Memory in the Instances view. For more information, see Understanding the Instances View..

When you are investigating by Use Case Count or Memory, the view displays a list of methods that have allocated instances during the use case and were still live when the snapshot was taken.

Note In order for the Call Traces view to be available, you must have collected trace information during your use case.
