By capturing events in real-time, WindView allows developers to study the dynamic interaction of all elements of a complex system. The view graph window, which displays results from data collections, allows developers to scroll back and forth in time, zoom in on specific intervals, and filter different event classes. Developers can quickly click to add WindView to the system, relink the application, and download. Once system integration testing is completed, developers can easily remove WindView instrumentation from the application, saving resources for final production systems. Data collections can be triggered from the graphical user interface or directly from application code through several API calls.
Developers can log system events and user-specified events with data passing.
The combination of code-based triggering and user events provide a powerful framework for debugging even the most difficult issues. Several APIs are available and published for reference. The tool command language also provides a standard API for extending and customizing the Tornado tools. Developers can use this framework to integrate legacy, company-specific tools into the Tornado environment. More than 600 partners provide products and services specifically designed to speed applications time to market.
