<section id="GUID-E46EE0B4-87B8-4934-89CB-733E161CED1F"><title>Open

System Trace (OST)</title><p>This tool is used to monitor the path

of thread execution. It does this by logging of messages and variable

values to a log file for later analysis.</p><p>For more information,

see <xref href="GUID-1929856D-5C74-55F2-8B61-48F891A3B3BB.dita">Trace</xref> and Carbide Tools &gt; Trace in Carbide Help.</p></section>

<section id="GUID-5D3FB1F4-4190-4395-9252-130C5D4F6029"><title>Performance

Investigator</title><p>This tool is used to monitor the performance.

It is very useful for detecting performance bottlenecks. It comes

in the form of a Carbide plugin.</p><p>For more information, see<xref href="GUID-E714801A-B7A3-4240-805C-35CD202963AC.dita">How to use PI Profiler

with PlatSim</xref>, the <xref href="http://s60wiki.nokia.com/S60Wiki/PIProfiler.dita">PI wiki</xref> and

<section id="GUID-16455E57-AA10-48DA-A979-BEB4C856FC9D"><title>MemSpy</title><p>This tool is used to monitor memory usage. It is especially useful

for detecting memory leaks.</p><p>However, the output from the present

version of the Memory Analysis tool does not hold information about

which CPU is accessing the memory.</p><p>For more information, see<xref href="GUID-958D9E07-D5B8-49A1-BAE2-D7421E09F566.dita">MemSpy</xref>, the <xref href="http://s60wiki.nokia.com/S60Wiki/Memspy.dita">MemSpy wiki</xref>,

<section id="GUID-9174410A-CA3A-4B64-A603-FA94F7336FC8"><title>Standard

Test Framework (STIF)</title><p>This is the standard test framework

for executing large number of repetitive tests. The framework comes

in the form of test scripts. This tool is used extensively for regression

testing.</p><p>For more information, see the <xref href="http://s60wiki.nokia.com/S60Wiki/STIF.dita">STIF wiki</xref> and

<section id="GUID-68F190E7-4E10-4DEF-8660-D93ED5B79477"><title>Crazy

Scheduler</title><p>This tool is used to test if code will work in

an environment where there is no thread priority. It can also be used

to test the effect of a delay when a thread moves from one state to

another.</p><p>For more information, see <xref href="GUID-3D5974E9-0F6C-4BBE-AD41-C405DC286C09.dita">SMP Crazy Scheduler</xref>.</p><note><p> When executing in crazy delay mode, this tool can

slow the system down.</p></note></section>

<section id="GUID-6BC1C33D-9349-46C4-977E-B2E2EE5A75F6"><title>Load

Generator</title><p>This tool is used to simulate the effect of heavy

processing on the platform.</p><p>For more information, see <xref href="GUID-70C7DC8B-9E52-406C-B990-B19CEC362E5A.dita">Load Generator</xref> and the <xref href="http://s60wiki.nokia.com/S60Wiki/Load_Generator.dita">Load Generator wiki</xref>.</p><note><p>This tool is for internal
