    Percepio Tracealyzer

    Score7.7 out of 10
    N/ATracealyzer® lets embedded software developers dive deep into the real-time behavior with the goal of speeding up debugging, optimizing performance and verifying software timing. Requiring no special hardware, Tracealyzer uses software instrumentation to record software event traces. This can be streamed to the host application views or kept in target RAM until requested. This is enabled by its trace recorder library, refined since 2009 and provided as open source. Tracealyzer…N/A

    • SonarLint highlights all the issues in our codes and also displays the severity of each issue.
    • SonarLint also provides suggestions for how to fix those code issues which are highlighted.
    • SonarLint starts the processing of the file as soon as it is opened and highlights all the issues which it found.
    • When we fix the issue, we don't even need to create a new build or generate fresh code quality report, as soon as we save the file with the changes, it does the processing again and shows the result if the issue is fixed or not.
    • SonarLint saves a lot of time and effort by saving us from doing fresh build every time and generating new code quality report every time, thus increasing the efficiency and output which is in return beneficial for the client.

    Cons
    Percepio
    • It's not always easy to include/integrate Tracealyzer in the OS build. It would be nice to have a simple install/plug n play method for our target.
    • Sometimes, the .bin files from Tracealyzer don't always work and we don't know why

    • Sometimes, SonarLint does not highlight the issues in the code correctly.
    • The severity of the issues highlighted is according to the default rules set, we should also be given authority to set the severity of the issues.
    • The default fixes which SonarLint provides should be more enhanced and there should be more fixes available.
    • Sometimes it takes a lot of time for processing of the file when any new file is loaded or changes are saved in a file.

    While we started using uCOSIII for our simpler microcontroller products, we also use QNX on more complex targets (full microprocessors) and it is a much more complex platform offering event tracing, memory tracing, and performance measures that are extremely good and integrated. More importantly these tools are fully integrated without any code changes. Tracealyzer is not integrated as much into uCOSIII like QNX's tools, debugger, etc. But, going thru the manual work of adding Tracealyzer to the build, it did help us get to a shippable product.

    Return on Investment
    Percepio
    • Positive: We were able to find some thread priority issues with Tracealyzer.
    • Positive: we were able to see timing of events in the sw/hw that we couldn't otherwise see.

    • SonarLint helps in achieving all the business requirements in a more efficient way.
    • It reduces the manual and redundant work which we would have to do else every time if we did not use SonarLint.
    • SonarLint helps in maintaining code quality, and thus also highlights the loopholes for the cyber attacks and phishing attacks.
    • SonarLint makes work easy and helps the developer to invest less time in manual work thereby increasing their capacity to deliver the maximum output to the client.
