IBM's goliath enterprise tool, WebSphere Studio Application Developer (WSAD)
5.0, has a powerful, full-featured profiling toolset for developers. However,
learning how to use the tools and how to interpret the information takes some
time.
In Part 1 of this two-part series, I will focus on understanding the
information presented by the WSAD 5.0 profiling tools. In Part 2 (in an
upcoming issue), I will discuss how to optimize and fix code using the
gathered information.
The Purpose of Profiling
In some ways, profiling is similar to debugging. Both are used to examine
application flow as well as isolate problems in code. However, debugging is
used to check the correctness of code, while profiling is used to inspect the
performance of code.

I discussed many of the views in the Profiling Perspective of IBM's WebSphere
Studio Application Developer (WSAD) 5.0 in Part 1 of this series, which
focused on understanding the information displayed in the different views. In
this article I will discuss code optimization and how to use WSAD to pinpoint
areas of your applications that need performance tuning.
