Abstract
A visual trace of the dominant computer activities conducted during execution of a computer program is displayed for review by an analyst. A time line scale is predefined by the analyst to relate the trace to actual execution time. The trace is displayed as a line with various optional formats for visually distinguishing the dominant computer activity, for example, various line styles, different colors, and/or icons. If an area of the trace appears to need further review, the analyst can select, by any appropriate method, a point on the trace. The trace is linked to the actual code and details of the program so that such a selection will display the program details/code for greater review.
