Tools and techniques assist developers with the detection of memory leaks by using correlation of data type memory usage trends. In particular, investigations of memory leaks can be prioritized without always resorting to the use of bulky and performance-degrading memory dumps, by using these tools and techniques to identify leaky correlated data types. Data about a program's memory usage is processed to identify memory usage trends over time for respective data types, and the trends are searched for significant correlations. Correlated trends (and hence their corresponding data types) are grouped. Memory usage analysis information is displayed for grouped data types, such as the names of the most rapidly leaking data types, the names of correlated data types, leak rates, and leak amounts in terms of memory size and/or data object counts. Memory usage data may also be correlated with processing load requests to indicate which requests have associated memory leaks.

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for identifying impacted tests from statically collected data. In general, static dependency data, possibly augmented with some dynamic data, is used to find an appropriate set of impacted tests for code changes. In some embodiments, static dependency analysis is used to identify tests impacted by a code change. Heuristics can be used to assist with identifying an appropriate set of impacted tests to run for a code change. Dynamic data can be used to augment static dependency data to identify more optimal sets of impacted tests to run for a code change.

Identifying impacted tests from statically collected data

Providing a website map to a user. A method includes gathering information about web pages in a website, including information related to web page relationships, controls, and executable code underlying one or more web pages in the website. A relationship map is created. The relationship map includes representations of relationships between the web pages, the controls and the executable code underlying one or more web pages in the website. The method further includes graphically displaying at least a portion of the relationship map in a graphical user interface at the computing system.

Rich site maps

The present invention provides systems and methods that synchronize modifications between electronic data and one or more associated data representations. Synchronization comprises translating modification made to the data or a representation to the representations or the data and other representations. A mapping engine is employed to facilitate modification translation, wherein the mapping engine utilizes data-representation relationships, which declaratively described the relationship between data and respective representations. Such relationships can be stored in markup language (e.g., xml) or as a memory string, for example. Modifications can be translated via a continuous technique, wherein translation occurs upon transaction commitment or via an explicit technique, wherein translation occurs upon an explicit request. The systems and methods further employ an adapter that facilitates communication between the mapping engine and the representation and a handler store that provides various handlers that facilitates communication between the mapping engine and data.
