Logical grouping of profile data

摘要

Profile data can be ascribed to groups as a function of an organizational scheme that defines groups and relationships between groups. The groups can be abstractions over profile data that are meaningful for computer program analysis. Subsequently, grouped data can be disseminated, queried, and visualized in numerous ways to further aid program analysis.

1. A method of profiling a computer program, comprising:
employing at least one processor configured to execute computer-executable instructions stored in a memory to perform the following acts: receiving organizational scheme specified external to a profile system and target program and configured to define arbitrary groups and relationships between the groups, wherein the groups are abstractions that correspond to high-level program functionality; receiving profile data collected during execution of a program; and ascribing the profile data to logical groups based on the organizational scheme.
